I got it!

Today I headed into DC with Dad to get my Student Visa from the French Embassy. It was pretty nerve-wracking, but I probably should had realized I had nothing to worry about. I forgot the $70 visa fee, so I had to dash out in the middle of the process to get more money from Dad. Then I was worried because I had forgotten the original copy of my acceptance letter from the Sorbonne, and they were adamant about having the originals of each document.

But apparently it didn't matter, because I got the visa! All nice and shiny in my passport.

So now I've definitely reached a turning point in getting ready for this trip. It's all becoming a lot more real now that there's only the flight itself standing in my way.

Wow.

Now I have to see about buying film, clothes, textbooks, etc. So much to do.
