Preparations...

I leave in 6 days and have yet to pack a thing.. or clean my room. I did, however, get a super cute duffel bag for traveling. I was looking for one so that on trains, I don't need to worry about lugging around a suitcase. Mr. Fetterer (the high school Spanish teacher) also informed me that the nightlife in Nantes is great, so I don't need to worry about going out on my 21st birthday :) The debate is still ongoing about traveling into Paris, though. It's crazy that departure is coming so soon.. I'm keeping a regular correspondence with my host mom, though, and today found out that there will possibly be 1 or 2 Indian students also staying with us. Not gonna lie, I'll be pissed if I don't have my own room. I'll be skyping at all kinds of crazy hours haha. She also asked me to bring macadamia nuts "if I could possibly maybe remember" because she likes to make "American cookies" and you can't buy macadamia nuts in France. She sounds really adorable and I'm super excited to meet her! I'll probably update again once I start (or finish) packing, since not much else is happening.
