In Just One Week...

In just one week, I will be stepping off an American Airlines plane onto French soil for the first time. Excited, nervous, and most likely jetlagged, I'll find my bags before getting in a shuttle with six other students in my study abroad group to take us to the hotel where we'll stay until meeting our host families the next day.

One week is not much time. I still have to run errands, finish packing, and say goodbye to my family and friends here in the states. It's going to be a busy week, interrupted by frequent freak-outs I'm sure, but I think once I am settled into my seat on the plane flying over the Atlantic Ocean practicing "I'd like a baguette" in French, I'll feel nothing but anticipation for all new experiences I'll have.

...oh, and that's "Je voudrais une baguette," for anyone who was wondering!

You are TOO CUTE!!! I can't wait to hear all the exciting details from your travels, not to mention the adorable pictures you'll post. Paris is lucky to have you, but we're going to miss you like crazy here!! Love,

Alors, ma petite, apres le "bon voyage" (par avion), j'espère que tu est arrivée sans problème. As-tu des nouvelles? Quel est ton addresse? (Pour envoyer une lettre ou paquet.) Quelle vie! Comment va-tu survivre sans le beurre de cacahouètes? Bonne santé! Ecrit quotidiennement; disons-nous les nouvelles. Eh bien, à bientôt.
