Staring at my packed suitcases im a little apprehensive, but the more I think about being in a new country in a new city, the more excited I get. I just keep telling myself, “you get to study art in one of the most beautiful places in the world.” but I still cant help wondering how ill fit in, its a good thing I got that pocket dictionary!

I imagine myself going to a lot of museums and seeing a lot of the famous sites the first week im in paris, just being a tourist, but I also hope to interact a lot with the local people and get a feeling for what its like to “live” in paris, and use some of the french ive been learning. I cant wait to eat all the delicious food and to see what the people are like, and also meet other students that are in the same situation I am.  Lauren
