It's The Final Countdownnnn

Today has not been good day. In fact, today has been a HORRIBLE day. I went to court to contest a traffic ticket I got for "running" a stop sign and I was declared guilty. But you know what? Who cares! Why?

Because EXACTLY FOUR WEEKS (28 days) FROM TODAY, I'LL BE IN FRANCE! And that stupid rent-a-cop that gave me the ticket will be here, in Gainesville, miserable and fishing for more victims.

I am mentally and emotionally ready to move to France--or so I think. But am I physically ready? Hell no.

Check(less)list of important things that need to be done ASAP:
Find a place to live (no check)
Pick up my visa from miami (no check)
Save up enough money to live without pay for two months (no check)
Contact my school (no check...I'm scared to speak French over the phone!)
Buy a webcam/microphone to communicate with family and friends (no check)
Put togehter cute outfits with matching shoes and accessories (CHECK!)

Lots needs to be done before September 18.

If you think the Gainesville cops are bad, just wait til a French flic stops you! Better yet, don't get stopped by a flic!
And if you ever have to make an official report for some reason, bonne chance!
But really, I think you will love the part of France you are going to, and I have no doubt that the students you have will love you. Bonne chance, bon voyage et bon séjour! Tom
