Salut mes amis! My name is Malorie and I am currently a junior studying Public Relations, French and Psychology at PSU! I will be studying in Paris with the IES Abroad Program in Spring 2011 from January 12 until May 4. I have never been to Europe and look forward to learning about French and European culture, as well as improving my French language skills.

Since this is my first time leaving the United States, my main goal abroad is to experience a completely different lifestyle and culture. I want to embrace every aspect of French life, including the food, fashion, traditions, language, and night life. I hope to meet people, both French and other America students studying abroad, to experience these life changing events with me!

At first I was a little nervous to fly and land in a foreign country all alone, but students in the past have reassured me that my flight will be full of students anticipating arrival � Paris! Now I can not wait to board my plane on January 11 and embark on my first journey in France!
