Anyways, I am about to leave for France for 6 months. I will be living in Puiseux-Pontoise, a very small town about 20 miles northwest of Paris. I will be living with a family and going to school there, just like any other French person. A real cultural immersion experience I guess is what I'm going to get out of this. At this point, I'm pretty much ready to go. I began packing my bag this weekend, and I think that's going to be my biggest problem... I get ONE 50-pound bag. I can fit everything in the bag, but I have far exceeded the weight limit. So some rearranging is going to need to be done before I leave :P This Friday, I'm going back to Boston to pick up my visa. I went to a "pre-departure orientation" yesterday with a girl going to Italy and another going to Argentina. Two girls from Sweden and Panama who are here for the year gave us a ton of good advice and it was really nice. That's actually where they said that making a blog is the easiest way to communicate with people back home. Now I'm just hoping I'll actually remember to update it...
Aussi, puisque je vais aller en France, je vais peu écrire en français, même si personne ne me comprend. Je suis enthousiaste de vivre avec une famille française et de vivre la culture française. J’ai parlé un peu avec la famille et ils semblent très très sympas. Je suis un peu nerveuse d’aller au lycée car je ne comprendrai rien, mais j’espère que j’apprendrai vite la langue. Tous mes amis me disent que je parle déjà très bien, mais je suis sur que lorsque j’irai en France, je ne comprendrai rien. J’allais pratiquer mon français mais… je ne veux plus. Alors, je vais aller là et je vais voir ce qui se passera.
A toute à l’heure !
