It's crunch time... I'm leaving early because I fly for free, and on stand-by and don't want to risk getting bumped off flights. I'm off Wednesday morning, and getting into Paris Thursday early morning. I'm going to be doing some of my own travelling with friends until Saturday, and I am beyond excited.
At this point I've google mapped my host family's house, and also gotten in touch with my new housemate! I am beginning my hardcore packing and I am beginning to realize that I am in no way, shape, or form near finished. My room is in total shambles. Somehow I'm supposed to get all of this mess into one suitcase and have it weigh around 40 pounds...(keeping in mind I plan to buy ten more pounds of stuff while I'm there). I need as much luck as I can get with this task.
I am pretty excited for classes, and for the fact that I don't have that far of a walk to school every day. Not as far as some of the people I've been talking to at least! I've been stagger shopping so much, and now I think I'm actually done! (THANK GOD). I have been buying a dress or skirt here and there and now my wardrobe is nice and South of France-y. I didn't realize how American I really am until my French friend came over and went through my clothes tossing unacceptable items on the floor. Much to my amazement, I was able to have a pretty good chunk to work with. I also bought a few pairs of comfy and cute shoes as my cousin advised.
I'm kind of nervous now, I still have A LOT to do tomorrow... and the mini panic is setting in. Going to get as much done tonight as possible!!
