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.

I will see you soon.

Been a while...

I originally made this blog when I was 17 and never used it again. Three years later, I hope that I will be able to make better use of it. I'm in college now and I'm trying to remember to stay strong.

I going to use this blog to document my journey of the next five months. Some blessings came my way and I will be spending the next semester abroad in Cannes, France. :) I couldn't be more excited! I have a lot of a lot thoughts going on about it and I think this will be a great place to share them.

Here is where I'll be:

(I can't seem to find any other sort of picture of Cannes except the docs)

I've never been abroad before. I'm so grateful that the first time that I am abroad, I'm going to spend it along the French Rivera.

I'm sure Cannes is about to be beeaaautiful but I'm trying to leave with no expectations.I just want to take in everything as is.

Anyways, Welcome to Where I Am Now. =]
