Well, today is the day! In roughly 7 hours, I will be on my first of two flights to Nice, France, and I could not be more excited!! I depart from Toronto at 5:30pm and arrive in Montreal later this evening where I will be transferring to my connecting flight to Nice. If all goes well, I will be in the beautiful south of France by 10:10am local time tomorrow, September 1st! Believe it or not, I actually managed to pack away my life (including a good portion of my wardrobe) into these 3 suitcases and my backpack.... I'm just as surprised as you are really! It's hard to believe that after many long months of preparation, it is finally time to embark on this nine month exchange. While abroad, I will be studying at the Université Nice Sophia Antipolis through the Faculté des Lettres, Arts et Science Humaines (Faculty of Art & Humanities), which is located at Campus Carlone. I am taking 5.0 courses, 2 of which are taught by a Canadian professor who accompanies us during our time there. I am taking many language and literature courses, and I am very excited to learn about French history and culture in France itself! I will be living in an apartment close to the airport, beach and my classes, which I could not be more thrilled about. I even have a bit of a view of the water from my apartment! My address in Nice is 148 Parvis de la Mer, Avenue de la Californie, and it is a five minute walk to the beach - woohoo!
I am incredibly thrilled (and a tad nervous) to depart today! It's crazy to think that in less than 24 hours, I will be settling into my apartment and embracing life in Nice. I am not sure when I will have access to the internet or be able to get my new phone plan set up, but I hope within the next coming days to be all settled in and ready to start this exciting chapter of my life. Stay tuned!
