Today is July 26th and it is officially one month until I go abroad. I have one month to get everything together. I can't believe how quickly my summer has gone by. It seems like just yesterday it was May 6th and I had just arrived home after a long school year. Though this summer has not been everything I imagined, I can honestly say I am glad I got to spend it with my Mother. As quick as this summer has gone by, it also feels like one of the longest I have ever experienced. I guess because there were so many ups and downs, highs and lows. Overall, it's just been one hell of a journey and I don't think it's over yet...
With this being said, today was a really good day. It was beautiful, sunny and hot. It was like God was smiling at us. My mom and I received great news this morning and the day has been beautiful since. This is also the birthday of my Aunt who passed away. Maybe it was her spirit that has made today wonderful. Whatever it may be, I am thankful.
I hope that from now and for a good time on, I will get to see all the people I love happy. I hope to see it before I leave.

French Visa
On the 30th of this month I am applying for my Visa to study abroad France. I need a visa because I will be living in Cannes, France for almost four months. The process is long and tedious. Theres a lot of documents that have to be filled out and one is completely in French. I have to have about 8927483 forms of identification and some other stuff. As visa day approaches, it slowly starts to hit me how real this whole thing is. I don't think about going to France too much. I'm sure for most people that will be on my trip it is all that they think about. Don't get me wrong, I am VERY excited... it's just I still need more time to be at home.
I'll be getting something like this in about two weeks after the 30th. By that time I should also be receiving a letter from my program of things to pack and prepare before I leave. I don't even have all the necessary things I need right now. I know everyone else is probably preparing already but for me it's not so easy right now. I really hope that this trip abroad will be all that I can ever imagine and the problems that exist now will be long gone by the time my trip starts.
I'm happy that I am going to France. I'm happy that I won't be going straight back to school this August. I am happy that I am leaving my comfort zone. I am happy that this is happening. Though my problems exist I can't forget all the blessings I have received this year because I am studying abroad. This trip is truly something that I MADE happen for myself. I am so proud.
I guess I'll go into more detail on all the vague things I'm mentioning in a later post lol. Right now, my mind is just too all over the place.
