i am a college coed studying in lille, france for five months. it took me 1480 french classes, seventeen documents, and nine years to get here but the wait was worth it. europe is my playground: i always was a fan of recess.


le commencement

Paris, France


im watching the french countryside and it still feels impossible that im here. its been so much of my life that it just seems a part of it already. i didn't go to a foreign country, i went home.

the goodbyes were hard, as most are. but everything went as planned, which made it a little easier. carolyn and i found each other at the gate and discussed how silly we looked crying through security. we decided the guards weren't looking for tears, only machetes and nail files.

met two girls on the plane, one going to Florence and one going to Nantes. it was nice to talk to people who were experiencing the same things. sometimes you just feel like you're all alone with no one who could possibly relate to the roller coaster of emotions that you're experiencing.

long flight, no sleep, good food, and a first glimpse of France. just beautiful. met up with another girl heading to Nantes and we all worked together to find out luggage, train station, shuttle, tickets, etc. felt like a whole nother trip and a half.

it's easy to communicate here. everyone seemed friendly and willing to help. the train is so fast that the world outside it blends together. im trying to stay awake but i can't tell if it's the train or my own eyes that blur the landscape. but the seats are comfortable and we're exhausted. to tell you the truth i'd sleep on my luggage if it meant i got to lie down. its around 6am our time. almost been up for 24 hours. only 45 minutes until Lille.

a bien tot
