Carte De Long Sejour

Merci a tous pour vos prières! (Thank you, everyone, for your prayers!) Today I completed the final step of the Carte De Long Sejour process. The medical exam went quickly and smoothly. I got a doctor who only spoke French but he didn't ask anything I couldn't understand. Then I went to the waiting room for my final meeting.My appointment was for 9:30 but the man who was supposed to interview me didn't show up until about 10:30. This worked to my advantage because by the time he came he was embarrassed and wanted to get us taken care of as quickly as possible. I showed him the required papers, he put the proper stamps on them, and away I went! So now I am an official temporary resident of France (or something like that) up until the expiration date of my VISA, which is September. I will need to apply for an extension in May or June so I can attend school here next fall, but until then I am good to go! And all of the people there were really friendly, except for one receptionist.
