Pre-Departure One

I was fighting starting this blog before I'm actually IN France, but my pre-departure activities/preperations and feelings/attitude are becoming increasingly important. How I prepare myself is going to have a huge impact on my first week abroad. There are seventeen days left.

My schedule is going to be as follows (as far as I know):
Work until the 26th
Camp from the 27th to the 29th
Packing from the 30th to the 1st
Saying goodbye to Plattsburgh 2nd to the 4th
Boarding a plane on the afternoon of the 5th

The interesting thing is that I'm not nervous about
living in France. I'm nervous about how living in France is going to change my life. How it's going to change me specifically. How it's going to stress my relationships with my best friends. How it's going to alter my perspective on people and the French culture. How it's going to be incredibly frustrating and wonderful to improve my French.
