Student Visa - Step 1 complete...

Soooo.... Just my luck... The French Embassy has adopted a new, more rigorous procedure for student visas... Among other ridiculous requests from a very user-unfriendly site (http://www.liban.campusfrance.org/) I had to get my grades from the Lebanese Baccalaureate II (1999)!!!

Anyway, the hardship is now behind me, as my "dossier" has been "validee"... (yes, I am sitting for French courses...)... The gentleman who interviewed me was a very nice person who's son attended INSEAD as well (his family name escapes me though...)... He congratulated me on getting into INSEAD, and even drew me a little map of Fonty, and was very helpful in providing some tips on accommodation... now that is a whole other story I am sure I'll get to recounting soon...

My appointment at the Embassy has been scheduled for Friday the 25th of Sept... 9:45 AM... All my papers are in order, and i should get the visa stamped before the end of Oct... So I might be able to go to the INSEAD open day on Oct 31'st in Fonty...

Cheers

An intro...

Hey there... If you are on this blog, you probably know me... If not, feel free to read on though...

To make a long story short, I have been admitted into INSEAD, and will start my MBA studies in Fontainebleau (Fonty), in France... I plan to use this blog to document (some of) my learnings and experiences as I embark upon a journey I hope will expand my horizon, and contribute to my personal and professional maturity... I will also be occasionally posting items related to my interests, hobbies, and extracurricular activities...

I ask of anyone who wishes to comment on blog posts to respect the limits of decency, as the primary objective is for this blog to act as a means of communication with my family and friends...

Cheers
