the future is now! Yikes.

I'm no fan of the passage of time. I really thought that this summer would last a hell of a lot longer. But its more or less over, and I have about a month 1/2 before I head off to France. I find that alot of me is quite resistant to the whole change thing. That being said, much more of me is stoked out of my mind that I will be in France so damn soon, I really find the whole situation hard to believe (I see that as a function of me never having gone anywhere before) SO... I've got more or less a week left in tallahassee, and a ton of goodbyes to say.

Meanwhile, I haven't started packing, haven't gotten my visa, and haven't heard back from my school. So, the plan is, I'll show up in France, homeless. I really can't imagine a better story. Vive la France.

dix septembre here i come

Well, today I booked my flight. Everything seems to be accelerating faster than I thought it would. Less than one month left in Tallahassee, then I only have one more month in the states after that. I was fortunate to find an inexpensive one way ticket from Jax, not just into France, but into Bordeaux, so my first act in France won't have to be finding my way from CDG to the gare--- which would suck. So now, I will be arriving in Bordeaux with 3 weeks to acclaimate myself with French culture before I have to teach. Ohhh yeahhh.
