Let's Get Outta Here!

So, there's pretty much nothing else running through my head right now except "OH MY GOD FRANCE". Which made it kind of difficult to finish my homework last night, and I'm anticipating will make it slightly harder to pack tonight.

There are so many things that I am excited to do - tour a chocolate factory (whoever came up with this idea is a genius, thank you), eat baguettes (the ones from Panera are good, but I'm expecting better in France), and try to speak French. I am a little nervous on that last one, because I feel like I am always missing that one word in a sentence that I need to say what I want to say. Oh well. Sign language (or flailing hands around to make an attempt at sign language) is international, right?

I'm so glad that we will get to see not only our keypals, but the people that visited us in January as well. We had so much fun with them, and I'm sure that they'll be able to show us the sights and sounds (and smells?!?) of Troyes.

After my classes today, I am in total, headbanging, full-steam-ahead France mode. Nothing can stop me. Except maybe having to pack my suitcase... :)

    Maybe I'll have to go and get a croissant at Panera or the Gourmet Shop and pretend I'm with y'all in France! :-)
