C'est La Vie

So, I'm off to Québec City in like 2 days. I'm gonna be in a French-speaking city, 10 hours away by car from my hometown, on my own (well technically I'm staying with family friends but you know what I mean) and it's only now starting to register. Hmm. The reason I'm going... to brush up on my extremely (emphasis on the extremely) poor french. I'll be studying at Laval University, apparently it's quite a popular school. My feelings at the moment are a mix of excitement and anxiousness with a smidge of fear which makes sense considering it'll be my first time experiencing this kind of independence. To be honest, it's kind of another reason why I made my decision to go, as much as I love my mommy and will really miss her (I'll admit-- guilty of being a mama's girl), I need to do this for my own good. I've lived at home my whole life, I need to get out there and see the world from a different perspective. It'll be an adventure! And hopefully a beneficial one lol. This is one bird about to leave the mama nest.
Random fun facts:

• The word Québec means 'Where the river narrows'.
•  Québec contains more than 3% of the world’s fresh water reserves.

 
With that I leave you with an amazing song from one of my all-time favourite bands...
