Excited For Paris!!!
T minus 5 days until I will be in Paris, France! I am so excited and ready to embark on this opportunity of a lifetime. I've looked up my home-stay and most of the prominent places in Paris through google maps. Its amazing what technology can do nowadays. I feel that what I've seen through google maps does not do the city or the sites I've seen justice. I can't wait to see these places for myself in just a few days. While I am very excited to be living in Paris for 5 1/2 weeks, I am also nervous. I find myself wondering what my host family will be like and if we will get along. (Hopefully so!) I am nervous about the Sorbonne class and I hope it will not be too hard for me and that I place in the correct level for my ability. I am also worried about being safe while I am in Paris and Europe in general. I feel that I live in a bubble here in the US, and I'm not completely aware of life outside of the US. I know it will be different, I just hope to adapt and try to blend in with my surroundings so I don't completely stick out as an American. On a more positive note, I can't wait to experience the french culture and way of life. I've been studying the french language for 12 years and I am so excited to finally see everything I've learned and studied over the years. I have my camera, french dictionary and walking shoes ready. I'm looking forward to the trip of a life time!
