Waiting game

Most of this summer has been a waiting game... and we all know how well I like to go-with-the-flow and let things plan themselves, haha. After graduation, I waited to find out if I got into the program and which region I'd be in (yes, Lyon). Then, I awaited the arrete de nomination (my contract) telling me which school district I'd be in and most importantly how long I'd be in France (St. Priest, 7 months). Next, I waited and prepared for my visa appointment, sat in the waiting room of the French Embassy... waited (not so patiently) for them to call my name, and then waited for the visa to be sent to my house by express mail (all of which worked out and went surprisingly smooth). I've found out more and more information, piece by piece, (I will hopefully be living in an apartment in St. Priest, owned by the Mairie, I will work with 3 different primary schools, and I will have an orientation before I get started), but still I am waiting on plus.

As long as I get it all confirmed and figured out by September 21, I will be happy. And even if I don't, I'll still be ok:) C'est la vie!
