SO. I officially have two days until my departure to Paris for the next semester. I was supposed to be en route as we speak, but I have spent the past four days bedridden, unable to smell hear or taste anything with only my two cats to talk to ..and they usually just stare at me like I'm an idiot when I talk to them. Fun times. I haven't packed as much as I should have at this point but I have always been a procrastinator with packing. I wrote out a packing list, etc. My mother told me instead of treating this like I was moving my entire life overseas, I should treat this as a really long trip. This helped me narrow things down in to a packing list a lot, thank goodness for Mother's efficiency.
I go back and forth between nervous and excited. Since I have been going to school in Colorado for the past year and a half, I have become incredibly accustomed to missing the south, but missing the entire US in general is something that I haven't experienced since my ex pat days. I know once I get over there and get settled I'll be a lot more excited. Since I am living in student housing for the first month, apartment searching is still in the works, which has been really interesting. I have been trying to get to know the different arrondissements of Paris through the internet since I am not actually there to establish what area I wanna live in. We shall see where I end up.
I am going to miss my family so much, particularly my younger siblings. My mother is, of course, taking the opportunity to come over with me and help move me in, and chill in Paris with me for a little while. If my mother wasn't a lot of fun this would be a drag, but she is. Plus, it will be nice for me to have her there. I don't handle high stress situations such as moving myself to another continent very well without help, so I more than gladly welcome it when offered. It is also strange that I am not going to be in Boulder with my friends this semester, I am going to miss them a lot too, as well as all my friends back here in Atlanta. But I'm delusionally hoping I will get some visitors at some point.
I am currently about to go watch another intense episode of CSI Las Vegas. I am going to miss all my TV shows the next semester so I gotta soak em all up now. I'm not really used to this thing yet but most likely I'll update with more interesting information once I get to Paris.
Peace and Love
