After having a great Christmas send-off to say goodbye to family and friends, I\u2019m finally packed and ready to fly out for my semester abroad.\u00a0Right now I have a lot of mixed feelings, thankfully however I won\u2019t be travelling alone \u2013 this last semester I\u2019ve made an amazing friend in an international student at Flinders who spent Christmas with us and who I was able to organise to fly over with. Although she isn\u2019t from the university I\u2019ll be studying at, it\u2019s a huge comfort already having a contact, and friend, only a train-ride away.<\/p>\n

As nervous as I am for the trip, I\u2019m twice as excited for the flood of experiences, people and culture that I\u2019ll be hit with over the next 7 months. I\u2019m also looking forward to the exposure and practice I\u2019ll have of the language and will hopefully come away with new skills and a higher proficiency in French.<\/p>\n

All in all, I can\u2019t wait to get to France and begin this next chapter of life!<\/p>\n
