Off to Paris!

So, I recently signed up to live in Paris for a year. Sure, sounds like fun, I have always wanted to go to Paris! But now, with bags packed, an empty room and a worried mother, I wonder if I have made the right decision. I mean, I know I have, but it's scary. The feeling I have been having is that of numbness. I can't really be going to live in Paris. Only really cool, fashionable, adventurous people do that. So I guess I need to figure out how to be that person very quickly. I realize that I will have to say "see you later" to my friends and family that I love very much. But, later in this case is much later than any other trip I have ever been on.
Who knows what this trip will bring but I am so exited to see. I hope that I get along well with my family that I am working for and that they can teach me wonderful things about the French language and culture. But, I also hope that I can share a bit of the American in me :) I am excited for the adventures I am going to have, the food I will eat, the fashion I will see, the people I will meet. But, there is so much unknown and it is hard to get excited for that. I honestly have no idea what the next year has in store for me. So, basically, they year is a huge gamble. But, I am ok with that. That's what being a young twenty something is all about, right? Here's to Paris!
