One week to go!

I leave for Paris in a week from today...

AHHHHHHHHH

I'm very excited.

Now here is some music....

In addition to being excited I'm also very nervous which I'm convincing myself is completely normal. I guess when I decided to join this program it seemed like forever off in the distant future... and now it is actually right around the corner. I know Mom and I are going to have a wonderful time. We have never really had a trip just the two of us and it makes me feel a lot better knowing she'll be there to help me get settled.

I'm nervous about making friends on this trip. I know that friends are not my main priority, really to be honest this trip is just about me. I want to learn to be comfortable on my own. I've always been the type of person who surounds myself with people, not really wanting to be alone. Some have mentioned to me before that sometimes I put the wants and needs of others before myself in a not-always-healthy way. I hope this semester in Europe will direct me academically but also just prove to myself that I can do this.

Ciao!
