Emily Erdman Nantes, Spring 2010

Hi! My name is Emily Erdman. I am a Junior at UNC Chapel Hill. I am a French major with a double minor in Creative Writing and English. I love to read, write, and travel. Nantes is a fascinating city and I am very excited to spend a semester there. I am looking forward to living with a French family, trying the different foods, and traveling through France!

  After a few weeks of traveling Europe, I am finally home in North Carolina. My host parents dropped me off at the Nantes airport on the morning of my departure for London. I was so very sad to leave them.

  It is difficult to believe, but I have left Nantes for the last time. Alright, the last time is a little dramatic, I definitely hope to return at some point in my future, but I have left for the last time this semester.

  The saying “April showers bring May flowers” does not strictly apply in France. I think that “May showers bring June flowers” would be a little bit more appropriate.

  It is hard for me to believe that I am actually in France. At the moment, I am sitting in my bedroom in Nantes, home from a brief three day orientation trip with the IES Nantes group in Tours, France. This past week has truly flown by.
