Time flies when you're having fun! Or when you're in grad school, which is not so much fun as hard work. It also involves constantly thinking "Is this really what I want to be doing with my life?" Grad school so far is an extended existential crisis. I am so lucky to have made some great friends in my program who can commiserate and support me in this challenging process. I was very relived to finish first semester and get some much needed time home. I have enjoyed being in Paris and am still so grateful everyday to be here, even when things get hard. I am very interested and eager to continue my thesis on the influence of mistakes in language learning. I am also anxious and excited to be teaching some lessons in the undergraduate French classes at NYU Paris. I am most excited to travel more this semester with my friends, hopefully to more places I have never been. Coming back so early, two weeks before classes start, was not easy. Getting back into teaching was difficult but I am always trying to get better and learn from my peers as well as experiences, both good and bad. Living in another country is definitely more challenging than I had thought, but I love Paris and France and french and look forward to continuing to learn and improve! Happy New Year to all!
Au revoir for now!
