Suddenly · I · see.

So I'm off... well, off in a couple of hours. But, against all hope, my suitcase appears to be packed (and I even seem to be able to lift it), my fourteen ton French dictionary is comfortably seated in my handluggage ... and I've got my passport! I arrive in Toulouse this evening and then have a week or so to find my feet, sort out my university place (I think there will be some forceful conversations with a number of secretaries en route) and start living la vie toulousaine.

At very long last, I think the excitement is spilling over and squashing the nerves. Fingers crossed.

Allez, hop... je vais en France.
