A Little Teaser Video

So I have been stalking some online blogs from people that have gone on study abroad in the area that I am going to. And I stumbled across this video that I found to be super cool. So I started following the girl who made this video and have started to kind of get a foot in the door with her to find out all I can about her experience to see what it was like and what she recommends and stuff. So that is cool that I found her on the internet. (Thanks Tumblr!)

Anyways this is a video that she made to recap her experience and I asked her if I could share it on here. But I think it is nice to kind of see a little of what happens and stuff. Also I watched it and looked at everyone's clothes which felt a little strange but important!

This past weekend or I guess yesterday really though it seems so long ago, I went with Kristen and Chelsea to go shopping for some new clothes for France. They dress a lot more stylish over there and a lot nicer than clothes that I typically wear so I figured if ever there was a time to style up my wardrobe it is now! So I bought I think two tops and four dresses as well as a few tank tops. Overall it was a fun experience to try some different things on that I typically don't wear to find things that I liked and made me look good without being too foreign. It was great to have some help along in order to get some other opinions or else I probably wouldn't have bought anything because I would be thinking "I never wear anything like this!" But it is just because it is different not because it is bad. :-) But I am very excited about new clothes and things. I want to get a pair of flat boots to take there because I think they would be very handy and go with everything, as well as a pair of not athletic tennis shoes and another pair of leather sandals. I have heard that shoes are very important there so I want to be sure that I don't stick out TOO much but rather have the true cultural experience.

It is now less than three months until I leave and with it already being June I am sure the time will just fly by!
Speaking of flying my mom got my flight changed to the new dates (with only being on hold an hour and basically being blamed for THEIR mistake!) But I again am going to be getting there a day early than I am supposed to. But it was cheaper to go a day early and get a hotel room than fly in on the correct day because it changes from a Friday flight which is expensive to a Thursday flight (which is cheaper). So today my mom booked me a night in the Best Western Marseille Aeroport, it looks nice and will work great! And it is only 300 meters from the Aeroport! I am again happy to be getting there a day early. I think that it will be nice to have the time to adjust myself to the time zone and take a shower or nap on my own time before I meet my family. :-)
