The Time has Come
Well, the time has finally come! I leave for France tomorrow! The time flew by so quickly, I can't even believe it. I keep asking myself, "Where did all of my 'I still have plenty of time left!' time go?" It doesn't matter where it went, all that matters is that I am finally going to France! I will admit, the past few nights I have been nervous, anxious, and even a little scared. It's a lot to think about! Will my flight arrive safely? Will my baggage arrive safely too? Will I get lost? Will I stand out as "too American"? Will I fit in? It's all a game of mental tetris right now, but I just know that as soon as I step foot into my host mother's home and set down my suitcase in my room, everything will be okay. This study abroad is a great opportunity for me to improve my French, learn and experience a new culture and people, and have a chance to discover a new-and-improved me! La Belle France, je viens!
