Here I am at SFO ready to fly off, a bit nervous, but buzzing with anticipation. I could not have wished for a more smooth morning. I was able to get a hold of my contact in D.C. and she emailed me at 7:30am my "arrete de nomination," which is a paper from the French Government confirming that I am in fact working over there. After sitting in a bit of Bay Bridge traffic I was at the French Consulate in SF at around 9:30am and left before 10 with a work visa in hand. My dad and I took a walk through the botanical gardens in Golden Gate park and now I wait for take-off at 2:35pm...
