My hair!!!

Had a typical study abroad moment, last night I tried to do my hair. In the process I destroyed a blow-dryer, fried a converter and scared myself half to death. Today I had to purchase a new converter for my laptop and I broke down and bought a new european blow dryer and flat iron :). I also met some new Canadian friends, Brazilian friends (there are a lot of students from Brazil in Amiens) and bought some interesting new items from the grocery store, tonight I will eat good pasta and drink good wine, C'est Bon!

Arrived

I have made it to Amiens. My family is here and we are staying in a hotel right in the city central. I went by my school today and will move into my apartment tomorrow. If you want the address feel free to e-mail me and I will send it to you :)

Visa Appointment

When to the French Consulate today to get my visa and was super excited until I realized I was super lost. Note to consulate, if you are located on Lenox Rd and not Peachtree then your address shouldn't say 3399 Peachtree Road NE!!!! Its ok though, I made it through and the appointment only lasted 10 minutes. All is good, should have my visa in a few weeks :)

Getting Ready to Go

Still in the US, getting ready for France. Still on to-do list
1. Finish visa paperwork (no fun, can't type it in has to be hand written)
2. Get money order for visa (no fun either)
3. Go to visa interview (maybe a little fun)
4. Buy more winter clothes (definitely fun)
5. Check on reservation for France hotel, flight tickets (fun and exciting)
6. Go to France!!!! (funniest!!!)
