Bonjour, mes amis!


... I'm Vicky, and as of yesterday, there are officially no more exams between me and my year abroad. So I thought I would take my newly freed up time to start a blog, because the next year of my life is (hopefully!) going to be worth blogging about!

From September this year, I am going to be embarking on an Erasmus year, studying law in Paris, at l'Université de Paris II, Panthéon-Assas.

Am I excited? Yes...
Am I looking forward to it? Yes...
Am I completely and utterly terrified? Yes!

Its a complete mixed bag of emotions to be honest, not helped by the fact that I actually have yet to hear from my host university...

This blog is, if all goes according to plan, going to be the place I can share all my experiences with you lovely people, and vent all my frustrations (hey, I'm under no illusions. This isn't going to be plain sailing!)

Who am I? Well I am a 20 year old law student, originally from Hampshire... I just finished the 2nd year of my LLB at Queen Mary University of London, with aspirations to become a solicitor once I finish jumping through that massive hoop which is my education - and this is my blog :)

This is really just an introductory post, but I will be posting sporadically over the next few months about the build up and the preparations for my Erasmus year, and then more regularly once I pick up my (very) English life and set down in Paris in mid September. Please say hi if you're reading and comment if there's anything you particularly want to hear about over the next year or so :)

I'm looking forward to sharing this with you all!

Vicky xx
