When life gives you lemons, throw the lemons away and say "Fine, I'm going to France!" I was supposed to be doing independent research this semester, but the professor dropped out on me. Yes, she dropped out on me, not the other way around. So, on an impulse fueled by disappointment and a little bit of anger, I went to the study abroad office. And now, 3 1/2 months after deciding to study in France, it's finally time! Impulse decisions can be wonderful things :)
Packing was definitely a daunting and difficult chore. Especially after going shopping for "necessities" and buying more than what was on my list of stuff I need (although I'm pretty sure I could argue that the M&M blanket and pillow I found are definitely necessary - they weren't on my list simply because I was unaware of their existence). Best news of the day: while packing, I finally got confirmation that I won't be homeless for my first weekend in France!!! Life is definitely good right now, and it's about to get much better :)
