What Does This Blog Contain?!

I'm going to miss you a lot! I thought a fun way to stay connected while I'm overseas, would be to start (and maintain) a blog! I am going to update it (hopefully frequently) with the goings-on of Paris, France! I will be in the city of lights from June 30th to August 6th. If you're interested in sneaking a peek at my adventures abroad, then please read!

Packing: I Need a Carpet Bag Like Mary Poppins'!

Hello! This is my first post for my trip! HOOORAY!!
Currently, I am packing my bags for the journey! It has been toilsome, so I've decided to take a break and tippytype on my computer. I moved from Murray back to LaGrange today and have started unpacking my possessions, only to reorganize them and put them in different suitcases. I can't believe I leave for France TOMORROW!! AAAHHHH!! I'm so excited and anxious! It's going to be awesome. I will miss you though :(
I received my course packets in the mail a couple of days ago: one for my french literature class and one for my french culture class. Both of the courses should be super awesome!!

I'm not a light packer AT ALL! I've gotten better over the past couple of years--I can fit all the things I need for a couple of months in the Magic Van, no problem!--but I won't be able to take a van-load of stuff with me. I think I have all the basics packed, but can I really leave behind my silver sequin stilettos?! Or Star Trek poster? I know they seem like superfluous items to you, but what if I NEED THEM?! You never know...I know I'll only be gone 38 days, but anything can happen! Do you see why packing is so difficult for me? I will figure it all out eventually! (in the next 12 hours before I have to go to the airport!)

My flight leaves at 1pm on Wednesday and after changing planes in Atlanta, I will arrive in Paris at 6:10 am on Thursday morning (midnight for those of you on the east coast).
I can hardly wait!!!

Well, I better get back to it. Look forward to my next post which I will hopefully be able to write some time Thursday :)

A Bientot!
