The Countdown Begins

It is less than 24 hours until I am off to Paris. I can't even put into words the emotions I am currently feeling. If I had to explain it, it would be a combination of nerves and excitement, and each emotion comes in waves. One moment, I am thrilled, and can't wait to be landing at Charles De Gaulle Airport, while the other part of me wants to take it all back, and crawl into bed with a pillow over my head. I, obviously, will not be doing the latter-but, I am scared, naturally. It's not easy for me to be unaware of where I am living, who I am living with, or what my classes will be like once at La Sorbonne. But, this is a learning process for me. I haven't even left the U.S. yet, and already I am learning and changing. I felt like the last 3 weeks of my life have been a never-ending To-Do list, and I am coming down to the end. I just finished packing, and it really wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be (though I am still worried about the weight restriction-woops!). I can't believe the summer is over, and the moment I have been waiting for has finally arrived. It has been my dream to study abroad in Paris, and I can't believe tomorrow it is all happening. I know my life is about to change after tomorrow, and I could not be more ready.

It's all happening! 
bisous
