I'm leaving on a jet plane...

I have created this blog in an effort to keep in touch with family and friends during my time abroad. I will try my best to update as often as possible and share my European adventures with everyone.

My itinerary is as follows:

-Depart from Appleton 8/26/08
-Arrive in Paris 8/27/08

Once I am in Paris, I will move into temporary housing for three weeks. Orientation starts the night of the 27th and goes through the 29th. We have that weekend off to explore the city, then Monday September 1st, I will begin a week long intensive language program (ILP). Shortly after I complete the ILP everyone will receive their family assignments. I expect to move in with my new family September 6th and start classes on the 8th.

I am confident this will prove to be an exciting year! Stay tuned!
