Four days!

So, finally got my visa (still have to get my residency permit - seriously?), and have yet to start my packing. I also have to run a whole bunch of errands - picking up things like adapters, toiletries, euros, etc.

Saying goodbye to people is the worst. And seeing all my friends going back to school, and realizing that I'm really not going with them is harder than I imagined. Now that studying in France for a year has finally become real to me, all the other things that come with are real, too. The fear of the unknown is normal, but for someone who is terrible at transitions, it is almost paralyzing. But I'm going, no holds barred. I guess I'll eventually figure it out.
