WOW! Congrats!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

I'm so beyond excited, I don't think it's actually hit me. France! The Sorbonne! My brain didn't function for a second after she told me. Everything sort of... stopped for a moment. Wild. Thank you!

[without-me.livejournal.com]

Go you! (Or, y'know, vas-tu!!!)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Je pense que c'est vrai, oui. Si pas, personne connaissait.

That was onlymaybemostly right. But I've got two months to get it there! Fraaance!

Thank you. I'm out of my mind excited here.

Congratulations! If I knew how I would've said it in French...instead, pretend I said it with an accent a lot like Inspector Clouseau's. :)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Felicitacions! Or some approximate spelling thereof. Which I will have time to learn because eee! Paris! The Sorbonne! My head is still swimming with it all. Merci!

[meinnim.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeee!

That is fabulous news. Congratulations!

So when are you going exactly?

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank youuuuuuuu! I'm beyond ecstatic, but that's the highest LJ's happy spectrum goes. *g*

The program begins on the 1st of June and goes until the 28th of the same month - four-week program. Half the reason why I chose this specific program was because it was at the Sorbonne. The other half? It would get me back in time for Challenge, even if I cruised the continent before returning. It's a beautiful thing.

*squeals insanely* omg France! You are going to have such a great time!!!!!!!!!!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And yes, France! Paris! The Sorbonne! It's mad, yo, just crazy cool. I'm going to soak it aaaaaaaall up. Whee! *twirls*

[lilysaid.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!! That is so fantastic. Eeee!!!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm beside myself, really really outrageously beside myself. Paris! The Sorbonne! And they want me. *boggles* It's nuts, man, I cannot wait at all.

[crazybutsound]

Wheeeeeeee! Congratulations! And La Sorbonne? Wow, I'm beyond impressed. :-) And well, you probably won't, but if you do have time to visit a little bit, I'm two hours away by train, and my town is beautiful. *giggles* Although there is quite enough to see in Paris to keep you occupied for four weeks, lol. But yay! France! We're good people, really, we are. :-)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you! God, I know, the Sorbonne! Me! Me and the Sorbonne! *swoons* Honey, besides momentary shock and Paris!, my first thoughts after she told me were definitely of you. I'd love to come see you, but I have no idea yet what the schedule will be and such, so I'll have to see what that's like before planning everything. I'd love to see as much of the continent as possible, and meeting you in addition to that would be a real treat.

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

Eeeee!!

That just rocks beyond words! Congratulations!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Aieee! Thank you! *still running around* I'm excited half out of my wits. France! The Sorbonne! Eurooooooope! Don't think I won't come harass everyone I know on the continent if at all possible. ;)

[silentfire.livejournal.com]

yay! i'm so very excited for you. you're going to have a fabulous time.

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Out of my mind, yo. I'm sky high on it all. France! I'm going to see Paris! And live there! A whole month! I'm positively beside myself - besides London, it's the city I've always, always wanted to visit, and eee!

[madame-d.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeee! That's wonderful, fantabulous, brilliant! *hugs you and twirls* Congratulations! You're going to have a faaaaaaaaaabulous time!

*squee!*

*bounce*

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! *twirls with you* I'm so, so excited, it's barely even real. Eee! France! I've wanted to see France longer than I know, but studying at the Sorbonne! *swoon* I, yeah. Just, yeah. Thank you.

[stamplet.livejournal.com]

Whee! Congratulations!

(My first thought when I saw "France" wasn't Notre Dame or the Louvre, it was "pastry!!!!")

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And yo, there will be more pastries than strictly healthy if I have anything to say about it. Oh, man, France. Europe! Cannot wait.

[tallories.livejournal.com]

Wow! Oh, that's wonderful. :) One of my biggest regrets from my college days was not studying abroad. Make the most of the opportunity! I'm sure it'll be the experience of a lifetime.

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

It's positively crazy! This is absolutely the best I could've hoped for in study abroad, city, school, timing, all of it. I cannot wait at all to immerse myself in it all, the culture and language and atmosphere and soak it all up like so much 5'6" of human sponge. Cannot wait at all.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_dragon_/]

OMG congratulations, sweetie! ::huggles you big and tight::

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's such a dream, and I cannot wait at all.

[dotcitameteora.livejournal.com]

OMG! That's wonderful! I'm sure you'll have a great and unbelievable time there =) I hope your France experience will be amazing *bouncing* Congrats!!!!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm really quite beside myself with excitement. I mean, Paris! The Sorbonne! I love the language and city already, and absolutely cannot wait at all. It's so huge right now, I can't even think about it properly. Exciting, though. Oh, so very exciting.

[anduril-narsil.livejournal.com]

across the River Seine, from the Sorbonne, if you can imagine Sorbonne is facing your back and you are walking on the bridge, situated what can be claimed as the best ice-cream shop in Paree! eh walla!

Trust me on the chocolate. lol!

And! Beware of American Tourist,lol. And! if you're going there sometimes in June, beware of the streets in case France managed to maintain their European Trophy in Euro 04'.

Well dude, congrats and good luck!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Oooh, ice cream shop recs! Please, I know absolutely nothing about Paris save for the big stuff, so little details like that would be very much appreciated. And, chocolate is so speaking my language. *g* Thank you.

Euro '04?

[crownzeal.livejournal.com]

*is insanely jealous*

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

*snog* You'll have to drop me your address and I'll send you pretty postcards of pretty French boys to cheer you right on up. :)

[go4it.livejournal.com]

That's fabulous! Congratulations!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's still a bit unreal, and you know, as it should. France! The Sorbonne! I've abused so much more than my fair share of exclamation marks in this thread, but what's two more when I'm going to Paris? *dances*

[tavellafic.livejournal.com]

Whee! That's a hell of a summer school!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Don't I know it. *g* Thank you. It's gonna kick my ass, almost five hours of class a day, but Paris! The Sorbonne! I am surfing such the kick, really am.
