This is the news some of you have been waiting to hear. I am sure many of you thought that I was pregnant. well, GOTCHA! I had a meeting this afternoon with the business office at school. It was about an amazing opportunity that was really hard to pass up. I had to see if I could get the scholarships and aid for this. What was it? A study abroad program where I would be studying at the University of Montpellier in Montpellier, France for three weeks this summer.
Montpellier is in the South of France on the Mediterranean Sea. The university is one of the oldest in the world. The program is not just for college students. Businesses from all over the world send employees there to learn the French language. College professors go to learn how to teach French, or maybe to learn more of it. We would be staying in the residence halls of the university. On the weekends, there would be excursions to places like a walled Medieval village, Roman aqueducts; Barcelona, Spain; or the mountains of Italy. On the off days during the week we could go where ever we choose, like the beach, or shopping, or just where ever we can go in a day. To top it off we end the adventure with a weekend in Paris at what Dr. Ireson says is one of the best hotels in Paris. I do not know the name. Breakfast is included in the price, along with tuition, room, a metro pass for the duration of the stay, the weekend excursions, airfare, and the Paris weekend. If I do not get all the funding, I do not get to go.
So did I get it? Yes. I am very excited. I am aplying for my passport later this week. I will be gone from July 30th to August 22nd.
