So, I've said goodbye to almost everyone and have got just three days left to finish packing (which, if you know me, is almost an impossible task!) and complete all the many bits of paperwork etc. that I have been given to do but which make no sense!
So far, everything is a bit unknown which is quite scary, so when I fly out on Friday I will have 5 nights booked into a budget hotel by my 'responsable' (the person in charge of all the language assistants in the area), which means I basically have 5 days to find more permanent accommodation! Combined with attempting to set up a French bank account and two training days, next week could turn out to be very interesting...
Anyway, so far there isn't really much to say, but please do follow this blog if you want to keep up to date with how my year abroad is going as I'm intending to post as much as I can on here, as it might be easier than telling the same stories over and over again!
I will write again when I'm on the other side!

Bon voyage et bon sejour Rachel. Ben heads to Nogent-sur-Marne on Tuesday. Vive la France et vive les assistants, Andy and Jude.
