As many people may already know, I have been given the opportunity to study abroad this summer in France with MSU's French program. This will give me 9 credits towards my French minor, and many amazing experiences that will last for a lifetime! The program includes two weeks in Paris and four weeks in La Rochelle, a western sea-port city in France where I will be taking classes at the university there and staying with a host family. In addition, I have decided to travel around Europe for two weeks afterwards with my college roommate Marin, who will be studying abroad in Norway, and her high school friend Louise.
Because so many things will be happening in the span of my 8 week trip, I have decided to blog about my experiences. This way, I will be able to look back on my trip and see my growth as a student and as a global citizen (that's right all you Honors cronies, I went there!). In addition, I am required to journal for a scholarship I was blessed with, so I will be updating the blog at least once a week. Feel free to creep on my entries or ignore my posts! :)
Today is the last day I will touch American soil for 8 weeks! My flight leaves at 7:30pm, and after a connection in Iceland, I will be in France! FYI: I will not have my phone overseas. I am leaving it at my house (Even though my dad threatened to use it while I am gone in order to text all of my friends, therefore leaving me friendless when I come back!). My means of communication will be this blog, the lovely Facebook, and email. I will check them periodically, so I will be able to stay in touch! I am extremely excited to start this journey and cannot wait to see what the future has in store. À bientôt! :)
