Whew! I've been so busy with school and getting ready for next spring! I am very thankful that I will have the entire week of Thanksgiving off so that I can catch up!
Anyways, here the update:
1) I finally scheduled my visa appointment in Los Angeles for early December. Now I have to get together all of the required documents... which is a lot!
2) I'm in the process of booking my flight to France. This has to be completed by Tuesday! I will be flying into the airport in Marseille, which is the closest airport to Aix-en-Provence, on January 28th. I will meet my program hosts there from Academic Studies Abroad and they will bring me to my host family, who I won't know anything about until about 2 weeks before I depart.
3) I've scheduled a doctor's appointment so that they can sign me off that I'm good to go.
4) My next scholarship application is due November 21st for the Scholars Abroad Scholarship with the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. I already received a teacher's recommendation so now I basically have to put together and fine tune my essays.
5) I will also be applying to another scholarship whose deadline isn't due until January, so that is off my mind for a bit while I figure out everything else.
--Not only am I figuring out all of these study abroad things, but I'm doing all of my school work as well. We have one week of school before Thanksgiving break. Then we go back to school for two weeks and then finals week. I'll be having four finals this year, for which I will need to study a lot... Finance is kicking my butt!
I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Thanks for all of the support! I can't wait to tell you the good stories of what happens in France!
and P.S!
I received scholarship #2! It is from the CSU Office of International Programs :) woohoo!
