Il ne me reste que huit jours...

I have eight days remaining until I board a plane (and then another plane...and then another plane...) to go to Paris for 10 weeks, followed by nearly 4 weeks traveling around Europe. I don't know how the summer managed to fly by so quickly, but here I am nearing the end of it. Today's my last day of work, so tomorrow I'll be kicking into major get-ready-to-leave gear. There's so much that still needs to be done! Ah!

At any rate, this (as you can see) is a blog. I'm going to attempt to update it on a semi-regular basis while I'm overseas. I don't actually know how often I'll be able to since I don't know yet whether or not my host family has internet. That's only one of many unknowns about going to live in someone else's home. Honestly, I'm a bit anxious. Mais Dieu me garde.

Anyway, here are some ways you may be able to reach me while I'm overseas.

NOTICE! Do not mail me ANYTHING of value. No checks, no money, no gifts, nothing. If it's more than just a card or a letter or a postcard, please send it to my parents instead and I will get it when I get back to the states.

The best place to mail things is the Stanford Center:
Stanford University Program in Paris (Note: You must write Stanford underneath my name)
28, rue Notre-Dame des Champs
75006 Paris, FRANCE
Phone number: +33 01 49 54 65 72

The home I'll be staying at is:
Monsieur et Madame MALAUD
12, rue de la Belle Feuille
92100 Boulogne, FRANCE

My host family's phone number is:
+33 01 41 31 49 79
(+33 is the country code)
I will also have a cell phone, and I'll post that number as soon as I know it.

Ooh, and my newest communication toy is Skype. My very creative username is allie.dunworth

And then, of course, there's always e-mail. I love e-mail. :-)
