Weekend Waygone 3

You'd think I'd never seen a bed before.  Needless to say I was a bit sleepy after jet-setting around from the States, connecting in Amsterdam, and finally setting foot in France, but I think I've been a bit lost in a dreamy-dramatic state in the little time I've been here.  My room is fantastic and I literally touched the sheets on my twin bed, put my hand on my heart, and sighed a little.  I just can't believe I'm here and can't believe it's real.  I never thought I'd ever get the opportunity to study abroad.  In fact, I'm only a few classes away from getting my degree, but thanks to a bicycle-accident-wrist-breaking-surgery adventure, I was sidelined for over four months.  That allowed me the opportunity to be here today.  I am very nearly glad I went through all that just to be here.

These are just photos of my room area.  I am sharing a sleeping room with three others, but I was lucky enough to get there first and snag the bed by the window.  How could I resist that view?  Around every corner there's some sort of nook, portal, or other form of old timey goodness.  I can't believe this place is real.  I can't wait to explore and see more and more!

  1. Oh my gosh- these photos are gorgeous! Is it a residence for the school you're going to, or is this an apartment? I can completely understand why this made you sigh. Enjoy! :)

    1. The school take up a good amount of the town so we live in an old medieval stone home as our school residence. Every residence is different and unique. It's perfect here!
