William I can't think of clever titles...help me out!

Bonjour!

Guess what??? I'm finished with classes...meaning I'm also finished with school forever! Woohoo! I never thought this day would come...but its here! I've accomplished so much while I've been here...just a few things:

1. Made friends from all over the world
2. Improved in French immensely...my english is a little spotty now lol
3. Learned that it's okay if I don't take a shower everyday
4. Tried 4 million different kinds of cheese...and loved them all!
5. Learned to make an effort with the hair/clothing everyday (luckily I have the most comfortable flats in the world)

I'm going to miss everyone so much, and wish I could continue studying with them until December. I LOVED my host family, and was so sad to say goodbye to Thérèse today. I love France...sigh

Being done with school also means that its time for Ashley and I to start our European adventure. First stop: Paris! Today I leave Angers, France at 4:30pm and get into Paris at about 6pm. Then Ashley and I are going to meet up at Gare du Nord, grab a bite to eat, and crash on a guy name Marc's couch. This will be our first couchsurfing.com experience, so I pray to god it goes well. I also found out that a fellow UofOer is travelling in the same vicinity as us, so that will be good if we want to meet up and travel or whatnot. On October 3rd/4th we'll be in Munich for Oktoberfest, and I'm hopefully meeting up with my friend Katelyn there. On Sunday we're meeting up with Katie in Paris, so that'll be fun too! I love all the new friends I've made!

Sorry this post is so scatter-brained, but I'm just really nervous about travelling. Wish me luck!

Today I had a lot of time to kill so I also signed Ashley and I up for helpx.net and applied at 10 different places in Italy to work for a week or two. This is a great website, and if it works out then Ashley and I will be working for a family and eating and sleeping for free! Yay!

In the mean time here are some more pictures:

A group of us got together for one of my last nights in Angers! I'm going to miss them (but will see them again at the end of October).

I'll update in Paris if I survive the night!
