Why I felt this was necessary...

18 and curious, what better way to spend a summer vacation between a grueling freshman year at Harvard University and a similarly expected-to-be grueling upcoming sophomore year than with more school. 

A summer abroad was a quintessential experience I felt needed to be a part of my overall college experience, so here it is. 

I will be spending my time taking an upper-level French course through Harvard University, and what better way to complete this than in the capital of said language's country. 

A summer, two months, 57 days...however many hours, etc. 

This is my life this summer, thank you for stumbling upon it.
