I'm very concerned that this lack of confidence is going to affect every part of me living in France. I want to go out there and meet lots of French people, and talk lots of French but what if my fear of making mistakes stops me doing this? I try to go out with this mindset that I will speak as much as possible but what if I chicken out at the last minute? I guess it will be a sink or swim situation!
Apart from concerns about my ability, I'm going to miss my family so much. I guess this is a normal part of moving away. People have said they will come out and visit me and at the moment, I don't have any intentions of coming home during the term. It appears we have a wee off for Toussaints but I'm hoping to go visit my friends in Barcelona and Zaragoza!
On a more positive note, Pau looks beautiful. I'm excited to be so close to the Pyrenees! It looks like it's nice and warm there right now too, they seemed to experience a canicule over the weekend, the temperatures peaked at around 40 degrees! Toasty!
So, what's left to do in my last 7 days in the UK:-
- Sort out some Euros for immediate spending money/upfront rent payment.
- Year abroad insurance.
- Start packing!
- Seeing everyone and say my "see you laters" (I refuse to say goodbye!)
- Book a hotel for our first night in France.
I think that's it... That's not too bad... I've probably forgotten something though!
