So I have five more days left until I begin my junior year in France and to be honest, I'm freaking out. I don't really know if this is supposed to happen before or after I arrive in France, but a big part of me is screaming "what the hell are you doing?" I spent countless weeks thinking that I was finally going to get to go on an adventure and that after two years living in my boarding school's bubble, I was finally going to be part of the real world again. But what wasn't going through my head during any of the past couple of months was the fact that my French is no where near fluent. I have yet to fully comprehend how I will survive my five out of my seven classes in French or better yet deal with daily French immersion. The upside is that I can barely speak English so I have a jumpstart on not knowing what the heck I'm saying 100% of the time. I'm not kidding. I have lived in New York all my life and I am convinced that my verbal English is well below par. Something about not knowing what your going to say one moment and then somehow formulating a quick, articulate, beautifully crafted answer, really messes me up sometimes.
Never the less, I am excited for France. One thing I definitely cannot wait for is the food. I've deliberately lost weight this summer (five pounds, I know I'm awesome) as to prepare my self for the French junior 50,000,000 that I will quickly acquire. Extremely cheap bread and cheese? Yes, please.
But on another note, I want to set my expectations for this blog. I don't want to be one of those people who thinks that they are actually going to blog everyday. First of all, my life (which is plenty interesting), is not interesting enough that everyday I'll have some amazing, 100% authentic story to tell. I will blog as needed, and if I no longer feel the need to blog because I am out living life, don't call me lazy, call me living. Second, I don't expect this blog to become some world-famous blog, or famous at all. Mostly this blog is for me to talk about my life with the off chance that someone one will click on my blog and give a shit. If you are a reader, don't be a ghost reader, give me feedback. Third, I am not usually as pessimistic as I am being right now (haha) don't worry, this is not a blog where I will rant about my sad, loner life. That was middle school, and I'm so over it. Fourth, I am not going to pretend to be anyone I'm not in this blog. I'm not going to pretend to be super funny, cool, glamorous and unique, I'm just hoping that you will recognize that I actually am (I'm just kidding). The more and more I write you'll understand that I am pretty sarcastic and also pretty dramatic.
So now that you know about France and how I want this blog to turn out, and I've just realized how much I've wrote, see next time. Maybe, I will be in France. Maybe, not.
A plus
