Visaaaaaahhhhhh

After a wild weekend (thank you Nick and Celia for going 80's with me), today has been all business. I'm in the process of getting my visa and, frankly, its a slightly annoying process. There are so many things to get in order and if I get to the consulate on Wednesday morning and one little thing is wrong, I'm out of luck and get to do the entire thing all over again. Or at least, that's what the confusing consulate website threatens.

As far as I know, I have everything I need. I've double checked and triple checked all my documents, used about 23543 cartridges of ink making copies, and paid $8.52 for 6 passport sized photos ( I only needed 2) that I honestly, probably, could have taken myself.

I'm leaving Tuesday after work and heading down to Atlanta, which is where my French consulate is. Laura, my big sister, is graciously coming with me to keep me company and make sure I'm safe in HOTlanta. I'm excited to be staying at a friend's house! Kasey will sadly be at summer school, but her parents are FANTASTIC and are opening their house to Laura and me so we don't have to stay in a hotel. I am so excited to spend more time with them, although I am so sad that I won't be able to see Kasey! She's outstanding, and I miss her!

So (hopefully) on Wednesday, I will be one step closer to being completely ready for France!
