Thoughts

So both of my sisters are going to be in Europe for this upcoming semester. I have been relatively ok with this idea as I am extremely happy for them to be facing such an exciting experience.

Shell shock came two nights ago as I said goodbye to Alison (not pictured). She was leaving yesterday afternoon for France so after dinner Monday night, we said our goodbye. It finally occurred to me that they will both be across the pond for over three months. This is simply unacceptable. Who authorized this? I know I never signed off on anything.

She will be living in Dijon, France with a host mother. Every class will be in French, she will be living entirely in French. This will be a great way for her to gauge whether or not she wants to go to cullinary school over there.

She got on the plane yesterday afternoon. December 11th will not come fast enough.
