Studying Abroad with EAP

So I've never been one to keep a blog or anything of the sort... but I figured this would probably be as good a reason as any to start.
I have wanted to study abroad for as long as I can remember, so here is where you will get to read about my adventures as I take the leap and study abroad in Lyon, France!
Wish me luck and be sure to keep in touch :) and maybe even leave a comment now and then so I can see who's actually reading this!

Goodbye California

It's finally time, about 5 hours before I will actually be setting foot onto my first of five flights that will be taking me to Lyon, France. I've been dreaming of studying abroad for as long as I can remember, and it's hard to believe its actually the day I head out. I can't even begin to describe how I truly feel because excited, nervous, and scared just don't seem to cover it.
At this point my bags are almost packed, which has been more difficult than I had originally anticipated - between staying under the weight limit and actually being able to close my bags, I have had to decide what I really think I will need for the next semester/year.
Alright, well dinner is ready and there are a few things that still need to be done - like cards my mom will write in French for me saying where I need to get to next, just in case I'm too tired after my ridiculously long flights to be able to figure out how to say it myself - as well as making sure I haven't forgotten anything.
So until France,
Ari

    Hi Ari! See, I did read (most of - ok some of) your blog. I know you'll do well in France. Perhaps you'll eve use proper punctuation occaisionall while you're there. I hear they appreciate that over there.

    P.S. to Nathan when you're in So Cal, if you get down here I'll make you tater tots. - Aunt Leah
