Well, tomorrow is the big day. I will be headed to Paris, France for the semester. I do not speak French, I have never been to France, and I know close to nothing about Paris. This should be a very interesting experience. Luckily, I will have Monica and Torey by my side. We will be there for exactly 4 months: January 12 to May 12.
I just barely conquered my first obstacle of packing as much as possible into two 50 pound duffles, a rolling carry on, and a backpack. The duffles weigh in at 50.66 and 50.78. Yikessss, I better hope the people at Lufthansa are feeling generous. Tonight I got my last wear out of my North Face winter jacket and my Ugg boots. I do not want to be branded as a dumb American tourist before I even open my mouth to attempt the little French I know in my heinous American accent. As hard as I try, the soft "J" in Bonjour just doesn't sound right. Why is it that the French only pronounce half of the word that is spelled out?
More to come after my eight hour plane ride! Au Revoir North Face and Bagels! Bonjour Pea-coats and Baguettes!
