There are officially 12 days untill Abbey Road's Nice program begins and I couldn't be more excited. I have enjoyed starting to get to know people over the facebook group, but I can't wait to see everyone in person. I am actually going to be in France before the program starts and will be on a plane headed for Paris in only 4 days! I will be spending the week before the program starts with my family who lives in France. I am looking forward to seeing my cousins and grandparents as well as friends and extended family.
What I am most anticipating this summer is the opportunity I'll have to improve my French skills. I have been speaking French since I was about two years old, but over the past few years it's been really hard for me to become more profficient. I take a French class at school, however I find it difficult to learn from a teacher in a classroom setting. I am BEYOND excited to be involved in a French immersion program where everyone around me will be speaking french!
I am a little nervous to be traveling by myself and taking part in a program where I don't know anyone. I love feeling independent though, and I know i'll find people I connect with and be just fine :) à bientôt!
Sophie
