At the moment, I'm still waiting on information from AFS so that I can get my student visa-- I have to fly to Los Angeles and pick it up in person from the French consulate. I'm anxious to get that done, being hyper about these kinds of details anyway, but also because in this information I'll finally find out where in France I'm going. From what they've told me I might get it as early as next week, but probably not until later in December. We've got tentative tickets and an appointment in January at the consulate, so hopefully the info will arrive before then...
I won't be bored in the meantime, though. Along with French, I've still got several projects to be thinking about for school, as well as the NIAS Student Diversity Leadership Conference next week, finals, family over for the holidays, a novel in progress and another work I'm co-writing with a friend etc, etc... Probably just as well that I'm not just twiddling my thumbs and going, 'come on, can't I just leave already?' Besides, I'm having fun with all of it.
I'll post updates as they come.
