I took a CPR/AED/First Aid training class a few days ago. My French family wanted me to be CPR certified before I arrived in France, which seems understandable. However, I do not think I really should be certified after this five hour class. I only practiced on a creepy looking dummy for a few minutes after hours and hours of lecture, and we were given all this safety equipment that I will never have in a real life situation.
But alas, apparently I can save lives now. I hope I am never put in that situation.
In a few days, I am headed to Atlanta with my mom to go to my visa appointment. I am very nervous because (I know I am stereotyping here) French people just aren't that nice and friendly. I called the consulate a few weeks ago to discuss my appointment problems, which are fixed now (not because of their help), and they only told me exactly what the website said. They had accents, spoke fast, and didn't sound like they cared about my general well-being, so I quickly said, "Thank you," and hung up the phone.
Anyway, I am triple checking all the documents I need to make sure I will have everything. I have read they basically kick you out on the spot if you don't have everything, which will officially screw me over if that happened. So fingers crossed!
Also, mon petit ami officially got a job in Paris today! I am very proud of him and super excited. Everything is working out. He starts the day I start au pairing, so that's parfait aussi. Looks like I am going to Nice to visit him for a few days before we start our new lives together in Paris.
All in all a good day... 26 more days until I board my plane, but who's counting?
