One week until I move to France...

One week from today (and I think almost to the hour, although I should check my plane reservation!) and I will be in the air headed to France.
I'm flying to Paris, where I will have an 8 hour layover (looking for ideas to help me kill time in the airport...), before I fly to Brest. Hopefully one of the English professors meets me at the airport and takes me to my temporary housing.

Just recently, I looked on a map to see exactly where I was moving. Fortunately, I've been telling people the correct location! Below is a map of France. I will be living in the region of Bretagne -- to the Northwest



And here is a map of Bretagne:



I'm excited to meet the other 4 'lecteurs' that I will be working with. Sarah and Katie are from the East Coast and David and Sorcha are from Ireland. I'm also looking forward to learning more specifics about my position at the University. There's so much that is up in the air regarding my move to France. My hope, however, is that everything will fall into place once I'm there. For now I've got plenty of packing to worry about!

A bientôt!
