Welcome!

     Congratulations! You've managed to find your way to my new blog! You may be wondering why I started a blog. It's not because I have developed a sudden passion for internet ranting, and it's not because I want to become an internet celebrity (although that could be pretty cool...). It's actually because I'm going to France for a year! Next year, instead of attending THS (Home of the golden general Michael Phelps), I will be living somewhere in France. 

Here's the deal: 
  Last year I applied to be part of an AFS International exchange program, and I got accepted!! AFS (American Field Service) is an organization that connects students from all over the world through semester, year, and summer exchange programs (I'm doing a year program). I will be living somewhere in France with a host family, going to a French school, and learning the French language and culture through total immersion. I will also be oceans away from everybody at home, which brings me to this blog.

  Since this is such a cool experience, and since I want everybody in the states to experience it with me,  I'm starting a blog! It will be my way of sharing details of my adventures with you all. I'll post updates on the status of my program, the status of my day-to-day life, and the status of my sanity. Check back for developments soon. 

Until then, 
Sophia

  4. Hi Sophia,
    Your Grampy and Grammy told me about your up coming adventure in France. I am very happy for you and am looking forward to reading your blog while you are in France. I wish I could go with you! I have always wanted to live in Germany [first choice] and/or France so I will live vicariously thru your blog. At least I have the chance to visit family in Germany every few years!
    Au Revoir! Marge
