After all the planning, all the paperwork, and all the headaches, we're finally down to one week to departure! I just got my host family last week, so I know I'll be headed to the small town of Menetou-Salon and staying with a host family of a mother, a father, and three sisters (one of whom is away at school). I'll be about 20km away from my best friend in Bourges and studying at the Lycée Alain Fournier, which is also in Bourges. I can't wait for all the great experiences I know I'm going to have as an exchange student in France, learning about the culture and the music and the food. I know it will be hard, but I'm hoping I'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. I hope to keep up this blog while I'm away (and my family does have Internet!) so check back soon for updates!
