Study Abroad

As of last week, i officially decided to sutdy abroad next semester at the abbey in france. i had originally planed to go next fall but suddly found out the other day the the program does not run in the fall anymore. well there was still spots open to go this spring to i jumped on it and got my application in. im still a little shocked that i actually did it. im going to be in france for four months in pontlevoy. im so unbelievably excited and nervous at the same time. i've always wanted to travel ever since i was young and herad about people studying abroad. ever since i found out that southern had a study abroad program i was determined to go. then when i found out that i would have had to wait another year i realized that it was now or never and this was one of those things that you just have to take a chance with and go with your gut feeling so i did. i knew that if i waited another year i probably woulndt go and that was just not acceptable for me. so i will be in france in february and i cant wait. my mom is really nervous because i have never been outsitde of the united states and i dont speak french but i plan on learning some before i go. i think its going to be the expierence of a lifetime and it couldnt be passed up.
