First and foremost I just want to thank everyone for the lovely, heartfelt responses I’ve received after my last blog post. I originally intended for this blog to be a place to tell stories about my life in France, but it quickly became a place to find community. It gave me a sense of belonging, which was especially appreciated since I never really felt like I belonged in France.
That being said, I am doing the crazy thing and am moving back to France to get my masters! My plane leaves California the 28th of August, and I will once again be on French soil the 29th.
All your comments and support helped me through this difficult decision. What it came down to is I have an amazing opportunity in front of me, and although it will be a challenge, I think I’m ready for my next adventure. I hope you all are ready for it, too.

ReplyDeleteBrave decision indeed! You seem to be a strong person and I'm glad you figured out what was the most important for you. I hope the next adventure will be thrilling and meet your expectations. Are you going back to Lille or have you chosen a new destination?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, I don't think I've commented here before but I've been reading your posts recently and just wanted to say that in my experience (3rd city, 4th job) it's the people and the situation that make the difference more than the country. So here's wishing you a great time with your studies, lots of wonderful friends and maybe more if you decide it suits you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I hope that it is a good move for you, and things get easier. If you feel lonely and are near Picardie, feel free to look me up. :)
ReplyDeleteReady and anxious for more stories of your French escapades!!! Bon courage! Bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your decision! I'm sure it will be a wonderful adventure and I can't wait to read about it! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! I've just come across your blog as I'm going to be an assistant in Lille too! Just wanted to say that I love your blog and wish you the best of luck with your masters! If you're in Lille I would love to have chat :) Cora
ReplyDeleteLaura! I'm so excited that you made this awesome decision. I can't wait to hear about what getting your Masters in France will be like. :)
ReplyDeleteYay you! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and welcome back to France! Where will you be?!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back - you know it's where you belong - France seemed a bit boring and empty without you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best
