A couple days ago, I was cleaning out my inbox because it was 98% full and I came across an unopened email that had been forwarded to me from the head teacher at work.  It was from another teacher saying that I didn't need to take two of her BTS classes anymore because the group that I was suppose to work with "posaient un lapin."  Naturally I was confused about what a rabbit had to do with   the BTS students.

Study Abroad Changes You

How You Will Change from Study Abroad

Here are some of my favorite:

Then: You were skinny.

Now: You are not.

Then: Your best college story was the time that you had that ridiculous night on campus.

Now: Your best college story is the time that you were in Paris, Madrid, Greek Islands, Ibiza, Beijing, (Insert amazing place here), and you had the greatest time ever!

Then: You had money.

Now: You don’t.

Then: You liked to talk about your school, family, sports, pets, friends..

Now: You like to talk about study abroad. Every conversation somehow circles back to “but when I was abroad..”

Even though I'm not in Paris anymore,  I still have so many things that I did and saw that I want to share.  Also, I will be writing about my attempt to return in a year and how I am staying connected to the culture in the meantime.
