4 days before take off

This is my first time on blogger. I'm excited to share my experiences with those of you who may be interested.
I leave for France on 7th January 2009.
I will be spending one week in Paris before heading North to Amiens to attend Université de Picardie Jules Verne. My goal is to become fluent in French and study and enjoy the European culture.

Preparation for this has been quite intense. I am going through the ISEP (program) and was awarded a scholarship from the Benjamin Gilman Scholarship Foundation.
I will share my photos, stories, adventures and frustrations and welcome your input.
Wish me Luck!
Bon Voyage!

  1. Rene,
    Do you remember helping me when I was in French 101 at UNO? We'd go to Perkins to study and laugh about how bad I was at it. We've had a lot of fun times! Hope you have a wonderful time in France!
    Love,
    Kari
