What's in a name?

I'm now on my 4th blog. Yes, at 21 I have 4 blogs to divvy up attention between the very different parts of my life and will probably acquire many more. I collect blogs like lonely people collect plants- you take care of them for a good while and once you get tired of one, instead of doing the noble thing and just throwing it out, bargaining with yourself to get another slightly different one sounds better.
This blog, mes chers, will be devoted to my summer 2013 study abroad in Grenoble, France. I will be doing an Intensive Language study with Academic Programs International (API) for almost 6 weeks. I consider myself a Francophile in every since of the word (lookout Frenchmen!) and rather than come back after a month and a half of full immersion with bunches of scattered memories, I've decided to blog. I wanted to find a way to truly savor my time abroad while keeping a link between myself and friends/family who want to know what I'm up to. Bonjour blog numèro quatre.
If you care, this is what I'll be sharing...

• Reflections on french stereotypes: myths vs. reality
• What I find when I get lost
• Anecdotes and tips for the prissy/inexperienced travelers such as myself 
• Updates on excursions and discoveries of the like throughout France 

If this sounded boring, allow me to spice it up with some perspective

WARNING
How I will be sharing these things...

• If you can't tell by my background, I'm kind of a ridiculous person. I'm full of dry, unadulterated, adequately perverse humor. I've found the best way to deal with this is to embrace it. You should too. 
• T.M.I. Those who know and love me may call me an 'over-sharer'; I prefer to be called 'illustious insight-giver'. Get ready for the nitty-gritty.  
• Cursing. YES...Fuck YES. I wouldn't be sharing completely if I had to censor myself. I'm a grown woman (queue Beyoncé melody) and I plan to write a no holds barred account of my experiences abroad. If you don't like it, you can kiss my ass. 
• Words > Photos. This is not my instagram. I won't sully the already dwindling reputation of written word by having to give my audience an accompanying picture for each paragraph. This isn't kindergarden- USE YOUR IMAGINATIONS.
• I use run-ons, ellipses, colons, semi-colons, metaphors, analogies, and every literary cliché excessively. If reading such tragic diction makes you uncomfortable, move on.
• Life isn't sunshine & rainbows all the time. While I hope to have plenty of good experiences to share, I want to open up about the hard things while studying abroad: getting scared shitless lost, social/language fumbles, homesickness, real sickness, sex with foreigners, etc. You know, the REAL things that happen when you're in a country for over a month where you grasp 8% of the language.  

As this is my 4th blog, I will be playing around with format. I don't have a concrete plan for what to write specifically, nor am I on any type of schedule. I'm simply hoping to take my experiences and put them under a sensible lens.
