if you didn't read this already, read it now...
After waiting for a while due to protests in Montpellier, I finally recieved my acceptance letter. and they spelled my last name wrong. BUT the point is now I have to make a million photocopies, fill out things, find a ride to L.A. sit in line for hours and get my visa. SOOOOOO if anyone is interested in joining me/helping me out/ spending quality time together and making it a weekend adventure, let me know. ASAP, even if you live in Tucson or Phx. I would really appreciate it. enormously.
The letter said a bunch of stuff, and then it read:
Mlle Maria Oretgon (grrrrr it's ortegon!!)
sera inscrite a l'Universite Paul-Valery pour l'annee academique 2006-2007, soit du 24 aout au 30 juin 2007 dans le cadre du programme d'etudes pluridisciplinaires. and blah blah blah...
So my plans are these:
*First week of Aug. (around the 29th of July- Aug. 1):
My adventure starts here. I'll be leaving Flagstaff for Tempe. There I expect to spend time with my mother, whom I miss terribly, and my siblings. Phone calls will be made (meaning: call me whoever you are, I would really really love to see you), food will be eaten and I would love to see many faces and musical instruments, soon to be followed by e-mails, hugs and kisses, etc. Good-byes and fare thee wells until june 2007.
Aug. 9th or 10th:
I'll be leaving my lovely stinky AZ and landing in Miami, where I will spend a week with my long lost family (Dad, sisters, grandparents -that I have not seen in around 15 13 years-) and possibly friends that I have made that shall remain a mystery.
Aug. 16 or 17th:
I'll be leaving Miami to Paris. and from there Montpellier... I'm still working on everything.
SO please come visit, call, anything. I love everyone and I would like to see everyone at least once before I leave. I know I'll be back but I will surely miss the hell out of everything/everyone. Especially my family and close friends. Also, make plans, save up money to come visit. Take advantage of the fact that you have a friend in France. I'm happy-excited-thoughtful about this. I've been finding myself trying to get distance from people, but i think I'm going to stop being a poop about that. I love my friends and aquaintances and those that shall remain in nameless limbo.... if that mande any sense... idontknow.
growth and change and enrichment await, and I can't wait.
Sincerely yours,
M. Juliana Ortegon
