So in just a little over a week at this time, I'm going to be in France. I. I don't really know what to say about this. No, I'm not regretting it! I'm really very excited. But once again I move ever further from the nest, and it scares me. I keep telling myself I need to reach out and interact with the French, get some French friends, go out on the town and not hide in my apartment quaking with insecurity, bu~ut... The likelihood of the first option is kind of shaky. But no! I will get out of the room, and I will travel the city and I will, dammit, use my vacations to go somewhere fun. Like see more of Europe.
But on the other hand, I'm kind of seriously freaking out about this. I'm certain I've forgotten all my French, I'll clam up with terror when asked to speak, and I'm worried that I'll deal with the culture shock badly. Of course, there is the préstage beforehand that will help me remember the language of the country I'll call home for 9 months. I'm pretty much going "aals;afj;a;JAgthfea;g;AJF'A'WS" while thinking this. And I'm filled with insecurities, but that's probably... normal? Expected? I haven't gotten any emails from Amy in a month, and I'm mildly worried about that. :/
Also this morning we saw a TRAGEDY. Quail parents brought their teeny tiny newborn babies to our yard and the neigbor's cat ate one. D: The chirping. The chirping! Oh, nature. If the yard wasn't still infested with fleas I would have run out and done something rash. Like smack the cat with a stick.
Lol emodump post. HELLO FRIENDS I LIVE IN A VAGUE AND NERVOUS WAY. And ah shit, I have to do some minimalist packing really soon. >.>
