Maggie's fault

If our blog looks terrible right now, blame Maggie. She refuses to make it look pretty. It's all her fault. Maggie, fix this! Panda, stop staring at me like that! 

We Are Go For Launch

Today we received word that I've been awarded the Bourse Chateaubriand, which will enable us to spend the next academic year in Paris!* To celebrate, we're starting this blog to document our trials and triumphs as we prepare to leave and after we arrive. Wooooo!!!! Celebrate!!!!

Time to start looking for apartments! And to find a subletter (or subletters) for our place here . . . let me know if you have any tips!

Here's to a year full of fun, food, travel, research, and expat adventures.

* I'm still waiting to hear from four other fellowships I've applied for. Depending on what I get, I may end up accepting one other than the Bourse Chateaubriand, but I'd be more than happy to stick with what I've already got.
