Bon Voyage!

Because there hasn't been too much happening for me on this side of the pond, I haven't had anything to update on lately. This past week, I have had a busy schedule for the first time in almost two months. Between rugby practices, class, and other miscellaneous agendas, I have almost forgotten that I am a visitor in a foreign country as I carry out my day to day activities. I finally have actual schoolwork to do, which is proving to be quite a challenge as I have been able to simply go to lecture and take notes up until now. Embarrassingly enough, I just began using the library last week! But we are already at midterm, with only five weeks of classes left until the end of the semester and the beginning of exams. Yikes.

Anyway, I'm sure that my lack of material to post will change after I return from a trip to Paris this weekend with stories of berets, baguettes, and, hopefully, boys. I am travelling to continental Europe with the 40 or so other students studying in the same program under the supervision and guidance of our two directors. I am a bit nervous about the language barrier, navigating the city, and pickpockets, but I am confident that things will go smoothly all obstacles considered. With the help of my French roommate, I have made a list of the most important things to see in Paris given the time that I have to spend there. I hope to take lots of fabulous pictures, see all of the best sights, and try some French cuisine, even though I am not adventurous enough to dare try foie gras or escargot - a girl has got to have standards! 

Love and the City of Lights,
