Visa Butterflies (a)

I got my visa today, so I guess there is no turning back now! I'm super excited, it seems all the more real to me; therefore, along with the excitement, butterflies too take root in my spirit. Nevertheless, Europe is calling...

But let's backtrack a bit...So this morning, I woke up extremely nervous about this audience with the French Consulate because my fellow travellers suffered their share of difficulties would these bureaucrats. Mais, j'ai eu de la chance! I had a friendly guy process my visa and we spoke good ol' franglais. And with only one misunderstanding which I was able to explain (thank goodness) I watched him print off my visa slip. He wished me luck in my studies and my time in France. As soon as I was out of the door I did a hop, skip and a jump and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Paperwork is finished :) 5 sleeps only left......
