i'm going to study at "catho", the catholic institute of paris. apparently everyone who is actually from paris has never heard of it so maybe i should just lie and say i'll be studying at sorbonne. sounds way cooler, i know. so far i have no idea where i'll be living or what classes i'll be taking. all i know is that i placed into intermediate french based on my online placement exam. im confident that once i take the oral part of the exam at catho i will be lowered to beginner french which is more than okay with me.
i'm going with dorene, we decided to go together i think two years ago. 96 stressed out phone calls, thousands of dollars, 13 visa documents, and one barely passed deadline later we're actually going! i might be completely jinxing myself because i haven't gone to my visa appointment yet nor have i booked a flight but trust me, i didn't even think i would get to this point!
so here's to paris, may you please please be not that cold for me.
