So it turns out that if you blog for the university, you have to work through Wordpress (which, I have to admit as a fair and unbiased person--har har har--isn't half bad).
If you follow me here, you'll get to see all the great adventures I'll no doubt encounter... both in France and on the WAY to France by way of the Embassy, etc.
:) See you there! The party's just begun.
Love, Kells

Wherein France Answers
On Tuesday, I got my letter from FRAAAAANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Wednesday, I sent it away to Washington D.C., USPS Priority Mail. It was there, being signed by someone, by 3 PM today. I hope 3 PM wasn't when everyone in the entire city quit work for the day. That would suck.
In Two weeks, God willing, it will be back to me, wherein I send it and myself (and the rest of my personal documents to say I am 1) alive, 2) American, 3) female, 4) vaccinated against everything under the sun, 5) a college student, 6) graduated, 7) enrolled and most importantly, 8), 9) and 10) able to pay for everything) to Chicago.
It's a good thing I'm not easily flustered.
This is complicated!

Additions to the Packing List
I had a highly productive day. I sat through each class with rapt attention... to the little scrap of paper in front of me and my Sharpie pen (which, by the way, is the coolest pen to debut at Office Max) as I continued to write out my packing list for France.
I must inform the general public that my letter is FOR SURE on its way now. I'm not sure what was going on two weeks ago when I was assured that my letter was on its way FOR SURE, but nonetheless, I remain unflustered albeit a little disconcerted about the timing issue at hand. I only, you see, have to board my personal jet and get to Chicago at the drop of a hat. No worries.
Among such trifiling necessities, I wrote down several bizarre unrelated things such as "rope," and "scarves" and "scissors"... so if you need me, I'll be justifying my way out of TSA's rigorous and intimidating officers' clutches. "But officer, I NEED a clothesline in my dorm room! and these scarves are PASHMINA!!"

My Life as an Advice Column
Dear France,
I have applied to study at a fantastic university, but you're not giving up the letter of acceptance yet. What gives?
Sincerely,
Frustrated in North Dakota.
Dear Frustrated,
Your letter is being considered. Please accept our sincerest apologies as our diplomacy or advice industry isn't nearly as efficient or madly rushed as your American diplomacy or advice industry. We are not, you see, Dear Ann Landers. We are Dear France. We'll answer your question as soon as we can. In the meantime, please keep your eyes peeled for your acceptance letter. It's somewhere over the Atlantic. Or under it. Either way, we promise it's not going to do a whole lot of good to worry about it.
Sincerely yours,
France.
