Aix-en-Provence... Here I come!

I have officially been accepted into the French Honors Program in Aix-en-Provence! Woohoo! I'm so excited to get going... but there is so much to do! I feel like this will be even harder to prepare for than going to Norway because France has super strict visa application rules.  I even have to personally arrive in Los Angeles for a visa appointment at the consulate towards the end of November.

The program I chose is an honors program... which basically means I have some awesome perks. These include a French student as a language partner from the local university, priority choice in internships, excursions in French, and like-minded students who really have the desire to learn the language.  I think it will be an awesome opportunity to really immerse myself.

My next steps are to start the visa application process and to continue applying to scholarships.  Study abroad is not cheap!  Leave me a comment below if you know of any great scholarships that I should apply for! Thanks!

Wish me luck!
