Hey everyone!! I am so excited to start this blog!!! It's hard to believe, but in less than a week I will be on my way to Europe to begin a whole new way of life! I want to make this trip as meaningful as possible, so I am making a promise to myself that I will take chances and live each day to the fullest, attempt to speak the French and take in everything I can culturally, aesthetically, and experience-wise. I know that I will have many wonderful adventures while I am abroad, learn sooo much about the architecture, and really grow as person...and you will get to see my progress as I share my stories with you! I hope you are as excited as I am!
For those of you who aren't familiar with what I'm about to do...this is my third year in architecture. During the third year, students can study abroad in France for the whole year, while still taking the same classes they would at the university. The school I'm going to is stationed in Versailles, France. It is part of the Palace of Versailles, which was remodeled for this purpose. A group of about 40 of us are studying at this school, along with other French students in architecture. We are able to work directly with French students on various projects throughout the year. In addition, we take field trips throughout the year to specific places in France, and we also have special "study/travel" periods where we can travel to other places in Europe. I am really looking forward to the people I'm going to meet and the places I'm going to see!
Thus begins a once in a lifetime journey I'm sure I'll never forget...I'm glad I can keep my friends/family in the US posted as I take part in this amazing experience. Next time I post here, I'll be in good ol' Paris! Bon voyage!! :)
