Is this really happening?
Today is really my last day in the United States?
I'm still extremely nervous/ scared/ thrilled/ apprehensive/ worried/ shocked/ in disbelief/ not really believing it/ nauseous/ READY TO GO/ shaking as I'm writing this... among many other things. Who knew one body could harbor so many simultaneously conflicting emotions?
More good news, I got back in contact with my host family from Nice (Vieux Nice, four stories above all the restaurants and bars!) and they're willing to come meet me at the airport when I arrive! Their suite is empty, so perhaps I could stay there when I'm still figuring out my long-term housing situation. Or perhaps their (EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE) 23-year-old son, Philippe, will know of some friends who are looking for another roommate -- une colocatrice. Pick me, pick me!
Either way, it'll be good to have some (good-looking!) familiar faces around... who own a car! And two years ago, their daughter Céline joked that if I ever came back to France, she'd hire me (under the table, woohoo) to babysit her daughter and speak English to her so she can grow up bilingual. I'll do it!
