Welcome!

I'm assuming that if you're reading this blog, you already know me, but for anyone who doesn't, I'm Corinne, and I'm preparing to spend a year in France. I leave in a matter of weeks, And I intend to use this space to let everyone back home know how I'm doing. I'll post pictures, and talk about my experiences, and use this as an area to analyze the year I'll have.

I will be studying at a university in St Etienne, France during the 2008-2009 school year, improving my fluency in French and learning to adapt to a new culture. "Allons y" means "Lets Go [there]" in French, and the phrase, "Allons y, y'all!" became my catch-phrase of sorts during my senior year of high school. Thank you for taking this journey with me!
