Los Grandes

By D.T.L.F. @ INSEAD
  • Convince the French Government to issue me a long-term student visa

This process actually ended up being fairly painless. I prepared per all the advice posted on NV, and it was a little like using a tactical nuke to take out a rabbit den.

  • Open a French bank account

I’ve received 3 important looking letters and piles of documents from my bank of choice over the past week. Too bad I can’t read French. They’re probably not that important. What does this mean, anyway?

DTLF,

Nous vous volons tout votre argent. Avoir un beau jour.

  • Lease French car

Yeah, I jumped on the car bandwagon. I’ll be driving one of the red-license plated, generic colored Frenchmobiles puttering around Fonty and its environs later this year.

The big items have all been squared away. All I’ve really got left on my list is packing, and last minute binge shopping for stuff I “need.” Unfortunately, these are not complimentary activities, though I found out that my baggage limit is 2x 32 kg. Nice. One can never have too many coats. Or shoes. Or finance books.

There’s an “Online Chat” scheduled tomorrow, with another bureaucratic entity within INSEAD. Stay tuned for my transcript synopsis.
