11 days from now, at this time, which is currently 2:15 in the morning, i will be arriving in Paris, local time approximately 9:15 am. I will go through customs, show my passport, collect my luggage and then hopefully make it onto a train which will be heading south towards Nantes, my final destination. Upon arriving in Nantes, i will make my way to the IES center, where i will then be connected with my host family, who i will be living with for the next 5 months. Oh and p.s. this will all be carried out in a solo, i've-never-traveled-overseas-by-myself, kind of mission. Wish me luck?
This blog is my attempt to keep all you lovely friends and family members informed as i take on this European adventure. Hopefully there will be pictures and ridiculous blog entries, but i can't make any promises on grammatical accuracy or that it will always be written in the English language... j'etudierai le francais, non? Oh and i'll try to update regularly, but I am a new blogger and this kind of thing does take some getting used to, so i'll try my best. But i'm starting early, so this is a good sign!
I've decided to call my blog "Vivez bien. Aimez beaucoup. Riez souvent," which means "Live well, Love much, Laugh often." I hope to experience all three of these things during my time abroad. There's nothing better than making connections with people and being able to enjoy their company and a good laugh. And goodness i do love to laugh.
Enjoy the rest of 2008!
Kelsey :)
