Happy Birthday Dad

Well as all of you already know, I have arrived safely in France! The flight sucked but I'll get over it. My luggage finally arrived on Tuesday and apparently it was in Amsterdam (interesting...).
Anyway, I've been taking it easy since I got here. On Sunday, (my Birthday) I stayed here and we had a little celebration (with a cake) in the evening.
Then on Monday, Stève's mom took us to the Préfecture to get my Carte de Séjour (French visa) and so now I have to wait for them to contact me for my medical exam. Then we went to the Sécurité Sociale to see if I can get Health Insurance but I need a bunch of paperwork (ie. bank account, proof of residence, contract etc.). After all of this, Stève and I went to La Défense (business area) to look into getting a cellphone. Apparently you need proof of a bank account, a void cheque and proof of residence to get a cell. This just shows how much the French love papers!
On Tuesday, Stève had an interview in the morning so I slept until 12noon. After that Stève and I went to open a bank account since I need it for everything. We stayed home in the afternoon to wait for my traveling luggage.
On Wednesday, Stève and I went to Parc Astérix for the day. It was my Birthday present from him and his family. It's kind of like Wonderland only it's all centered around the characters from Asterix. We had a lot of fun and we were exhausted by the end of the day.
Today is my Dad's Birthday...Happy Birthday DAD! And I am working on my TESOL course to get that done. Also I am catching up on emails and stuff like that.
That's it for me!
I have a meeting on Wednesday to meet the lady from Vitalangues (second job). Hopefully I'll have more exciting news soon such as finding an apartment or starting my job. Miss you all!
