International Driver's License

Not only did I get a new rain jacket, a new backpack, and new running shoes, but I also got an international driver's license today! The reason I got the license was to be able to drive around in Trebeurden, the little town in France where I'll be living from September to December with Eleanor and Celine. I'm very excited that I'll be able to au pair for somebody who is already 9 and knows how to look after herself for the most part, but also because of the rich cultural exchange that will take place with it. 

​Spent the day with mom and dad running around for things and enjoyed a nice family barbeque at night. It was actually a beautiful day, but I wanted to wear my rain jacket. 

On Thursday I'm off to France for my second intensive French class to finish off my undergrad. I'm very excited because I'm forcing myself to speak french at home now which HELLO I should have been doing for years now. Oh well, gotta start somewhere. Time is ticking and I have lots to do, but I started packing today so I'm not too worried.
