On Saturday I will have officially lived in Paris for a
month! This month has come with a whirlwind of emotions. I went from being
extremely homesick to never wanting to leave Paris to being extremely jealous
of everyone tailgating at the Georgia games back to being content with where I
am.
The first few days of
being here in Paris were very difficult for me; I was adjusting to a new
culture and I was living on my own for the first time. I would call home and tell my parents I know I
am not doing the right thing by moving here, but after settling in and finding
new friends and places to go I feel that my decision of moving to Paris is
probably the best one I have ever made. I know that I will keep in touch with
my friends and family (and hopefully they will visit). I feel that over this
year I will be able to not only learn about the world from a different perspective,
but also learn a lot about myself.
Just within the 4 short weeks of being here I have already
experienced so many aspects of the Parisian culture. From dining to going out
to shopping and my favorite just sitting and enjoying the Parisian way of life
I have learned a lot about this culture and myself. This city really is a
magical place and I will update soon on my upcoming adventures!
