Are we done yet?

So as time at LSU dwindles down, I find myself more and more ready to head to Paris.  Unfortunately, in order to get that piece of paper that says I have completed four miserable years of school work, I have to graduate.  In order to graduate, I have to make decent grades.  I am just not cut out for schooling, though I tend to do well, the effort is sub par.  Today I turned in a political science essay on "The Effects of War on Civilians" - but it was a day late (only minus 5 points).  I just could not get motivated to write it, so needless to say, I have to get out.  However, when I get out and graduate, I will descend upon God's Country (cough, cough) otherwise known as Lafayette, Louisiana - before I make the big move to France.  Unfortunately, I am in a holding pattern until the French family needs me.  I love going home to Lafayette, but that's the clincher, I only like going home.  I become an outright vegetable when I get to my house, finding that I eat more than humanly possible while fighting over remote and DVR privileges.  Usually when trying to capitalize on the remote, I pull out the excuse that, "I don't live here, so it's my turn, you get to lie here and watch tv all day, everyday."  It's quite brilliant and tends to work.

Currently, I am at work and about to head back to Lafayette.  After studying abroad last semester, (which was the best/worst thing I have ever done, in that I have never had that much fun and convince myself that I will never have that much fun again...morbid, I know), I made some great friends, who are actually coming in next weekend.  So my excuse for going home this weekend, is I am helping to get the house ready for their arrival.  All of which is true, but I am so lame sometimes, that I am known to just go home for no reason, bury my cellphone somewhere where it remains inaudible.

So as I finish up this disgustingly humid Friday in Louisiana I can only "Google" so many things to do while I am abroad come August.  So far, I've looked up Ryan Air flights to cities all around Europe and have attempted to create a budget on 320 euros - wishful thinking - so why not create a blog for everyone too keep up with me?  

It's also quite daunting that once I graduate I am no longer covered under my family's healthcare.  As I have no job from May - August quite yet, I need to find someone to cover me and cover me while I am abroad in France, the latter proving to be quite tricky.  However, my poor Facebook 6 degrees of separation acquaintance, Alex, has helped me tremendously on that front.  Between tying up all of these lose ends upon graduation, while going through this excruciating visa process, and that little thing called school - I am fit to be tired or paper work and applying to things.  I have to ask myself, "Am I done yet?  Can I just get to Paris already?"
