The initial excitement of the new job is beginning to fade and the stress and anxiety of turning a new leaf is well on it's way. Don't get me wrong... I am still completely Stoked for this opportunity and am looking forward to the day that I step foot in France. However, I am just realizing the extensive list of things that need to be done before that day will come. I have exactly one month to wrap up my world in Charleston, SC...condense it all into a small carry on luggage bag... and prepare for a whole new life!
Most of my things on the 'To Do' list are already in the works or already completed. One of which and a Very Important part of this list was to find my passport. I realized just shortly after accepting the new job in France that I have not seen my passport since the day I arrived home from Australia. And if I were to cancel it and get a new one it would take over a month and I don't have that kind of time! So I went home to Rock Hill this past Saturday and buried myself deep in my closet and emptying every box I own. I literally tore.my.room.apart. Long story short; After a near melt down, I ended up finding it in a luggage bag that I forgot I even owned in a pocket that I didn't even know existed! Through the chaos of traveling back from Australia, I must have just tucked it away and completely forgot about it until now. But any who, Identity aka the passport is found. Check!
Every day for the next month I am going to learn a French word or phrase and over use it, so that I'll never forget it. I have several friends that are helping me out with this. Thanks Sara Hill and Lauren Lanzo!! :-)
Today I learned to say "My name is Tess. and I like cheese." I'm not even going to attempt writing it in French. Speaking it is hard enough!
