I made the journey down to Chicago in order to visit the French consulate and obtain my student visa for my time in France, valid through the 29th of June 2009. The process was rather painless, but it involved a lot of sitting around in Chicago - which could be fun if the weather weren't so darned cold. The windy city lived up to its name, though, and I tried to spend as little time as possible outside despite the about a mile walk to the consulate from the metra station. I guess getting there five hours early didn't help either, but the trains from Kenosha don't run very often.
Now it's time to finalize packing, make sure I have everything ready. First things first: I still have 2 papers, 2 days of class and four finals to go! Not to mention Christmas in Colorado... It's going to be a busy few weeks leading up to December 29th, but that's nothing new to me!
First order of business in France: Disneyland Paris. My sister and I will be spending New Year's there, before I fly to Montpellier on January 2nd for the start of my programme. Should be a good time. I hope.
22 days!

Wheee! France is going to be awesome. I hope you have lots of fun. I also hope you find somewhere with iced tea. The French are bigger coffee/espresso drinkers than Koreans.
That's why I got used to drinking coffee - did you think it was for another reason?
