*bisou, bisous* from Paris! My mother's going to kill me for putting up this picture but what the heck, it was from middle school and we were in Paris!
Okay this picture was taken almost six years ago when I was in City of Lights last. Over the past couple of weeks, I've found myself scouring my memory of that trip trying to anticipate what my life will be like once I finally move to Paris in January. A typical day now consists of...
a. looking at this photo
b. reading my favorite "paris blogs"
c. triple reading the course options on the NYU Study abroad website
d. quadruple checking my icalendar for my visa appointment date and time
e. searching for new favorite dessert blogs in French, so I can practice French and read about baking at the same time
f. rereading the three French magazines I have stashed in my draw for practice (Glamour is so much different in French, I love it!)
g. Exclaim "Oh my god I'm moving to Paris" to at least one person I know
Fantastique! Oui?
Any-hoo...just wanted to let y'all know that I'm still working on this Paris business. In the next couple of days I might be able to tell you about where I'm living (super excited about that), next week I'll register for classes and then more visa nonsense to follow!
Oh! I nearly forgot. Tomorrow there is yet another orientation for Study Abroad Paris. I missed last months but I'm coming for sure this time AND I'm bringing cookies. Yes, I buy my friendships with baked goods but you know what, it's never failed me so I'm sticking to it. If you are a NYU Paris Spring '08 individual and you have no gone to orientation yet I highly encourage you to do so. If for nothing else, your sweet tooth may be satisfied...
Enjoy!
