Today, I rediscovered my love for language immersion. I was able to speak the language whenever I wanted without having to repeat myself in English, and I also got to be useful by translating for store venders and my friends. After today I am most definitely looking forward to what this journey will bring.

Today, I went to France. Not a small thing, in life (rather a huge one) but that was definitely something to celebrate considering my professor was over an hour late, our first flight was cancelled, and our second flight was delayed. Definitely glad to be here and cannot wait to experience the Parisian life!

Today, I finished my packing for France. Which I'm very glad of, because I'm already waking up at the ungodly hour of 5:00 am to get ready to leave for the airport. I would not like to wake up even earlier to finish packing.

Today, I went out to dinner with my family at Chilis, one of my favorite places to eat at. It was an absolutely great time and I'm glad I got to go before I left for France!

Today, I was able to indulge in one of my guilty pleasures: ColdStone's cake batter ice cream with cookie dough pieces mashed in. It was brilliant because it was absolutely hot and humid outside, and it was nice to have right before I leave the country. The company was an added interesting piece to the afternoon, but I definitely do not regret any of it, especially the ice cream =)

Today I essentially started my countdown until I board my plane to France. I mean, I had been counting down the days, but my prep had not been so...scheduled. Today I figured out everything I have to do up to getting to the airport and when I'm going to do it all. It's absolutely crazy, but the plan is helping keep me sane. I still can't believe that I leave so soon...where did all the time go?

Today, I had a very relaxing "do nothing" day. I went shopping with my mother and sister and spent the night at home watching movies and just hanging out. It was a great time just enjoying my life hear before I gear up for my cross-atlantic journey in five days.
