Oh, the hemoglobin!

So, going in to get an ultrasound today - and before you think anything, NO I'm not pregnant - apparently that's not the only thing they use that procedure for.  Although, the whole situation does sound a little fishy - come in with a full bladder and be prepared for an ultrasound. huh.  In all likelihood I will show up at the place and get tended to by a school nurse armed with a mercury thermometer.  "So are you sure you're not pregnant?  Because it's got to be that or mono."  Oh well, I have pretty good faith in equipment that is also used by my large animal vet. 

Eh.  Countdown to Paris begins.  (assuming I get approved for a Visa this Thursday...because I didn't wait till the last minute to get those forms in).  Apparently Campus France liked my application, though, because I applied the day after I received an email from my program saying that Campus France has been unresponsive for some students for over a month.  I was accepted a week and a half later.  Hmm, must be my finesse.  But more likely, dumb luck...and nun chuck skills.
