Bonjour! My name is Anna Piper, and I am a 20 year-old student from Tennessee. I go to school in Virginia, at the University of Virginia, where I study politics and French. I have been taking French since I was in elementary school, but I have never traveled to France.
I am here in Paris for the spring, and I am so excited! I am taking 3 classes on French history, politics, and society, and I will also be doing an internship later in the semester. At the end of the semester, I will write a long research report in French about my internship, which will definitely be difficult. I am so excited to be in Paris, and I am looking forward to taking you all along during my journey!
