Hey everyone,
I decided to make a blog of all of my travels to make it easier for everyone to keep up with me. I can't promise I'll make regular updates, but I promise to try. I leave in 4 days and right now I'm just running around trying to get everything ready...shopping and packing...two things I hate most in this world. Right now my line of thought is, I must have been crazy to think this was a good idea.
A few things about my upcoming trip: I'm going to be an english teaching assistant at Lycee Voltaire, a technical high school in Wingles, France. I'm hopefully going to be living in a nearby city called Lens. (In case anyone needs a travel destination.) Once I get there I have a nightmare of paperwork so that I can legally reside in, get paid, and have health insurance in France. Also, I have to buy a cell phone, open up a bank account, and find an appartment...which I haven't really done before (thanks alot
Albion for preparing me for the real world) much less in French. So it should be lots of fun. I will be staying with the head of the English department at my school, a woman named Marie-Agnes so hopefully she can help me a bit.
Well, that's all for now, considering I'm currently in Hartland, MI which is probably the most boring place in the world. I'll try to write back in the next week when I have a hot second.
