Visa success!

Just in case anyone was wondering...yesterday proved a beautifully successful trip to the French embassy; I'm now equipped with a lovely visa. I even got some French practice in, which was a nice confidence booster, as well. I'm really starting to get organized - I'm thinking of stuff to take with me for the students I'll be helping, and I'll probably even start thinking about packing in the next few days. All of a sudden, this is for real!
