Weighing my options
Alright, so basically I've got 2 options: Grenoble in the Spring for the entire semester (mid-January to late May) or Tours from late May to late June. It basically comes down to whether API accepts me and what's more beneficial in the longrun I guess. So here's how it goes:
GRENOBLE (semester)
-15 credit hours
-get a lot of hours for my major out of the way
-live in france for 4 months!!
-lots of excursions!!
-live with host family
-more time to get used to the language & culture
-I'll have summer to spend how I want it
-21st can still be in Philly with Dana & Nadine
TOURS (month in summer)
-Dr. Persels is taking us!
-21st will be in France with amazing people!
-6 credit hours
-I can start my teaching certification classes on time
-I have friends that have been to Tours with the summer program and they loved it
-I can get my gen ed requirements that I have left (3) out of the way next semester
-I get to spend more time with my friends in the Springtime
-I'll be around for Founder's Day (my event) and I can see the French plays, and graduations of some of my best friends
-****I'll be able to go to Jaclyn & Jon's wedding in April!!!
So yeah...each has its advantages, for sure. Time for some major praying and waiting now. Thoughts/prayers/advice and encouragement is welcome too! Love!
