gah!!! the night before departure

So thanks to hard work, a long application process, and much panic I am sitting here typing this blog instead of packing before my flight which leaves in 22 hours. I can;t stay it's hit me yet.... but it will when I'm on the plane tomorrow and freaking out because I not back in sunny Miami or in DC prepping to trek to Ward or the library for work. Language barriers, host families and class/internship aside, I have to admit I'm excited for this adventure. I know I'll be signing with my host family while my French slowly trickles back in and the usual homesickness will kick in but of the dozens of students I've spoken too, those who didn't do study abroad wished they'd had and those who did wish they could do it again... so here we go!!!!!!! boone chance à tous
