Yes, it has been ages since my last post, and for that, I do apologize. It's been a busy summer!
Anyway, moving on to more exciting times! The vast majority of my audience of 5.3 readers know that I will be leaving shortly for a year abroad in France. I've hoped to study abroad for some years know and it's quite exciting to finally be able to go.
Since there are lots of logistics to think about as I leave and for while I am abroad, I've decided to post a few Occasionally Asked Questions (OAQs) about my plans for everyone's information:
Q: Where are you going?
A: France. More specifically, Paris for all of September and then Tours from October through May inclusive. I will go on excursions around France as well as traveling around Europe.
Q: How will you keep folks updated?
A: You're looking right at it. While some folks send out mass emails when they go abroad, I'm planning on using the pre-existing structure of this blog. I will also post more photos on Flickr than here, but I will provide links in my posts to the new photos.
Q: What if I can't be bothered to type in a URL to follow what's happening?
A: Fortunately, there are several options. You can follow the RSS feed in your preferred reader (I strongly recommend Google Reader) which is the way I like to keep up with blogs. The easiest and most painless option for most people is to subscribe via email, which you can do in the sidebar. You will have to click through the confirmation email, so be sure to keep an eye out for that in your spam folder.
Q: How else will you keep in touch?
A: Email, natch. Also, I have Skype. If you're on Skype and you want my username, just send me an email.
Q: What are you studying?
A: Mostly French itself, but also literature, art, history, international relations, wine tasting, picnic-packing, the fine skill of finding flea market bargains, &c.
Q: Do you want to hear an idea for something to do in France or Europe?
A: Yes please! I'd love to hear suggestions for places to eat, things to do, locations to visit, so please do add them in the comments or shoot me an email if you would like.
That should do it! Additional OAQs? That's what the comments are for!

Yay for France! SO excited for you. xoxo
hahaha! I might steal your idea for this. Nice work.
Also, merci beaucoup for setting up the group blog!
I'm now coming home for Christmas. I hadn't planned on it, because I thought that was a really good way to get deadly homesick second semester. However, I failed to look at the schedule until yesterday, and there's a 40-day (that's more than a month!) long break for the holiday. Are you coming home in the middle?
I know you will have awesome time even though I will miss you imensly!!!!! I lurve you Hermione!!
Have fun, crazy girl
I've never been to France. This sounds like fun. Don't mind if I do tag along via your blog.
Good Luck!
