two weeks from tomorrow

I leave on a plane for Paris two weeks from tomorrow. I finally received my arrete and finally went to my Visa appointment. I am almost positive I filled out my forms incorrectly and I had to mail them better photos because mine were bad quality, but what's done is done and unless I hear anything else, I will be picking up my Visa September 17. Three days before my flight.

I am still uncertain of what I'm going to do when I arrive in Paris. I have spoken a bit about bumming around Paris for a few days before I head to Montargis. There are several reasons to do this. One, I don't have to be in Montargis for at least a week and I've only ever spent a weekend in Paris. Two, I know a few people in Paris and might be able to score a place to sleep for a few nights saving me the money of staying in a hostel in Montargis. Three, it's Paris!

I have spoken with Anthony, the only other English assistant that I know of in Montargis. We have agreed that, if we can find a furnished two bedroom, it would probably be a good idea to live together. He won't be arriving until the 28, so I will not be able to get a place until he gets there it seems, which is another reason to hang around in Paris. I have a feeling I'm going to be extremely low on money for a bit, as my CD doesn't open up for withdrawal until mid-October. I guess I'll just have to see what happens when I get there. I would be less concerned about where I'm sleeping for the first week or so if I wasn't going to have a large suitcase with me.

Speaking of a large suitcase, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW/WHAT TO PACK.

Sorry this blog is so boring so far. Give me two or three weeks and things will pick up!
