It is surreal that in 2 weeks I will be getting on a plane to London, and then France! I haven't started packing yet, and really have no idea how I am going to get everything I need for the next four and a half months into 1 suitcase and a carry-on. Anyone who knows me knows that packing lightly is not my strong-suit. This will be my first challenge to overcome as I begin a semester that I'm sure will have many challenges, good and bad.
Last night I received my roommate and housing information, so that definitely makes everything seem more real. My roommate is from Colorado and studies at Gettysburg College, so it is comforting to know that she is coming from an environment similar to Marietta. She doesn't speak any French, so hopefully that will force me to really communicate with our mom in French and get some legitimate language practice in.
I also have my official class list, assuming nothing gets cancelled between now and the first day of classes:
As my final 2 weeks at home are winding down, my focus will be preparing myself with basic knowledge of French history, the history and culture of Aix en Provence, and current political issues. As an International Leadership Studies major I want to incorporate the theories and concepts I have learned in my leadership classes thus far to ease my transition.
I am so excited to be studying in France! I cannot wait to learn about the culture and people and to have all sorts of awesome experiences. I am trying to enter this new experience with a totally open mind- willing to do/try anything, and hopefully I have the time of my life! I am currently a junior at Marietta College, double-majoring in Psychology and International Leadership Studies, and minoring in Gender Studies.
