Well, preparations are well underway. Plane tickets have been purchased, the consulate has been visited, and visa obtained. As of last Friday, I even know where I'll be living, and a very little bit about my host family. (I get to be an older sister of two. Perhaps I'll gain more appreciation for the trials and tribulations I have offered my older sister. Somehow, I doubt it.)
Most recently, I've gotten to do battle with google documents, and a spreadsheet for travel information that the University of Minnesota requires that I fill out.... and google documents doesn't want to acknowledge that I should have access to. Not a fun way to spend an afternoon, I can assure you.
Still, the process of manually stating all my travel information via email to the program director that I've been working with has revealed a fun and interesting detail about my travel plans for January 1-2:
My flight from Atlanta to Charles De Gaulle International Airport (That's Paris) lands at 6:10 am Paris time.
My flight from Charles De Gaulle to Montpellier? Takes off at 12:35 pm.
For those of you who have done the math, I have a nearly six and a half hour long layover in Charles of De Gaulle International Airport. Oh, this will be fun. Remind me to make sure that I have something to do.
Also, this is something of a test run. If you can't access this properly to comment, or whatever, let me know, and I'll see what I can do to fix it.
