procrastinating packing

who knew packing for three months would be this hard or stressful? i tend to always overpack, whether it be for a sleepover or a two week vacation but three months?! is that even possible. i'm already stressing about how im going to pick up my big check-in bag in the baggage claim area. i hope i'll have enough courage to ask some guy around there for help, even though i probably won't and end up with a hernia. i'm not sure if girlas can even get hernias. 

if you couldn't tell i found out how to upload photos! yay! this is a picture of my sad attempt at packing. i figured i would lay everything out first and then find a way to cram it into my suitcase. i'm using my sister's room as a temporary closet/packing room in order to speed up the process. too bad im sitting here, on the bed you see above, procrastinating. 

i called my program today and found out that i was placed into intermediate french. i know i said i was before but i honestly thought there was some sort of mistake or that they were kidding. i told the lady that i don't really know french so she lowered me to the elementary 3 level french class. i also signed up for "discovering paris" and "french culture and gastronomy." both sound really fun but they're both taught IN french. i'm not sure how much fun it will actually end up being and i might end up switching out but until then i'll be excited. i also enrolled in a third class called "fashion in france" which is taught in english. i'm pretty sure every girl in my program will be in that class. 

i really should go work out (i figure i need to burn as many calories as i can before i get to the city of butter and bread) and continue "packing" now. i'll post more pictures when i'm finally, hopefully packed and ready to go.

five days! ahh!
