It is now only six weeks to go before I depart. I am very excited and have already starting scouring the shops and internet to find the perfect suitcase! 

Currently working my notice period at work, I can't help but get distracted by the thought of what I will be doing in just a few weeks' time. All the formalities have been sorted, my timetable for the first week has arrived and I'm all set! 

My friend Becky and I will be visiting Paris at the beginning of August to make sure that my Craigslist apartment really exists... and to find our way around. I also need to remind myself of how to use the Metro and I want to make sure that I know exactly where I am going on the first day.

We are treating ourselves to a nice hotel in the city and making a girlie weekend of it. I can't wait!
