All of those tears and stress have finally paid off! I'm so happy I didn't just give up when I found out my application was late! <3 <3 <3 Now I have to apply for a working Visa, do research about the city, find a place to live... BUT I HAVE A JOB! It begins October 1st, so I'll probably leave for France in the first week or so of September... <3 <3 <3 I am super excited! :D

It really is completely unexpected, though, because there were so many boxes in the forms that I couldn't check off - no, I didn't have prior teaching experience, no I didn't have this, no I didn't have that... Perhaps my strong French ability pulled me through? And the fact that I pushed for it, against the odds? Enthusiasm = good?

And don't worry - this journal will be FULL of stuff about France, never fear! :D You guys will be my anglophone (AKA English-speaking) contact while living in a francophone environment. It occurs to me that aside from the kids in class and my family, I'll be living and breathing in French for seven months... Hopefully, this kind of contact will allow me to keep up my English as well! ;)

EXCITE. <3 <3 <3
