Thank you! :) I'm thinking positive thoughts your way, too, for your job interview in Barcelona!

CONGRATULATIONS THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!

[Error: French translation broken, and broken Spanish is a poor alternative]

I'm so happy to hear that! I expect pictures and random French history and I'm completely jealous I want to go to the Lourve (don't judge my French spelling, I do Grecolatin). (Google said it's "Louvre." That still does not work quite well in my brain, but I was close.)

Anyway--OMG SO COOL!

YAAAAAY!!!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!!!

This is going to be such an experience for you. I hope you update with many pictures and cool stories from France. I have the feeling this summer is going to go by sllooowly for you. ;D

It really is completely unexpected, though, because there were so many boxes in the forms that I couldn't check off - no, I didn't have prior teaching experience, no I didn't have this, no I didn't have that... Perhaps my strong French ability pulled me through? And the fact that I pushed for it, against the odds? Enthusiasm = good?

And don't worry - this journal will be FULL of stuff about France, never fear! :D You guys will be my anglophone (AKA English-speaking) contact while living in a francophone environment. It occurs to me that aside from the kids in class and my family, I'll be living and breathing in French for seven months... Hopefully, this kind of contact will allow me to keep up my English as well! ;)

EXCITE. <3 <3 <3

This is the most awesome news. Go forth and celebrate!!!
