Friday frustration

This weekend I have experienced a variety of emotions.  Friday evening I decided to go to a post office as part of my visa process for studying abroad.  I keep thinking getting ready to study abroad should be an exciting experience but instead it is very frustrating.  Acquiring a French visa is a very long process.  What did not help on Friday was the mistake I made of running my errand during rush hour.  Everyone was frustrated with each other and there were a lot of people in the parking lot.  I tried to focus on the fact that this would all be worth it once I was in France.  Overall this was not a pleasant experience but luckily it was over in about half an hour.

Saturday was much more pleasant.  My sister and I met at the half way point between us in Albert Lea Minnesota for the day.  There is not a whole lot do to in Albert Lea but I was just really excited to get to see her.  It was also exciting to explore an area neither of us had spent much time in before.  We ended up going bowling, getting coffee and discovering some buildings built in the 20's.  It was a very positive day and made me forget about my Friday frustration.
