Note to anyone and everyone who plans to go to another country for an extended period of time - DON'T PROCRASTINATE! Today I encountered my first bump in the road during my pre-departure check. I went online to book my appointment with the French consulate and the following happened:
1. they advise to book your appointment for at least 6 weeks before your departure, my departure is september 19, everything is booked up until the end of august.
2. I find the earliest possible appointment - it just happens to be right smack dab in the middle of my vacation. I'll be in Quebec and the appointment is in Toronto. Guess who get's to drive back to ontario for a 10 minute appointment and then back to Quebec!!!!!!!
My next problem lies in the fact that for some reason my long form birth certificate did not go through. So I have to hope that if I go down to the appropriate office in Toronto, and wait a million hours to get help, I can get it same day or at least faster, because I can't risk not having it before my august 22 consulate appointment!
I completely realize that this little entry is full of run on sentences, but at least you'll get the full effect of my little rant.
Although it is very stressfull (I still have the 4 jobs and an essay due!) I know that everything should pan out and that once september 19th hits i'll be on my way.
Until then I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best!
