I am getting even more excited to go to France because today I found out that there are concerts in Rennes and Paris (and other places). Not only are they French artists, but some American singers are touring in Europe also. Jason Mraz has a European tour and so does Ed Sheeran, even though he is European (British).

I hope I will be able to go to these concert when I am in France because I love music and I love going to concerts. I also love these singers!!! I will focus really hard on my school work so I can go see these shows. I am really dedicated to getting good grades as well as having fun!!

I’ll let you know how my plans turn out!

I received my VISA yesterday in the mail. It is secured in my passport and now I can live in France for up to 11 months. I now have all that I need to go to Europe. I will buy clothes+ when I arrive and until then, I am going to have a wonderful time here with my family and friends!!!

More later.

Yesterday, June 14, 2012, at 11am my dad and I went to the French Conciliate. After waiting a few minutes in line and after 12 minutes of handing over papers and finger scanning, I got my Visa for France. It was short and sweet and Iwill get the Visa in about three weeks.

I spent about a month preparing for last night and getting my special outfit ready, I was super excited and was freaking out so much!! Last night at around 6:30, my dad and I arrived at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California to see the One Direction concert. There were two opening acts before the boys came on and they were both good. The second act was Olly Murs, he is so amazing and talented, both in vocals and dancing! The boys were so fantastic it was hard to control myself.

I had so much fun and I can’t wait until my Visa comes and until I can see One Direction again!!!

Tomorrow I leave for San Francisco with my dad to get my Visa. I am almost packed and I am super excited. Getting my Visa will be interesting, I am stoked to see how the process goes. Since I leave tomorrow, this also means that the One Direction concert is on Thursday!!!! I am freaking out.

I will write more later.

In six days, I will be in San Francisco, California getting my Visa for France. I have an appointment on June 14, 2012 at 11:00am. The papers I need to bring with me to CA were mailed to me and they should be here now. I believe everything I need is ready to go! Im so excited!!!

Coincidentally, June 14 a VERY special day for me! After I get my Visa, my dad and I are going to tour around San Fran then later that afternoon we will be heading to Oakland, California. You might wonder…why Oakland? Well, that is where my dad and I are seeing ONE DIRECTION’S CONCERT!!!!! I have been waiting to see them for this for almost a year. I’ve had the tickets for over a month and as each day goes by, I am getting more and more excited for the concert!!!

So, when I come back to Hawaii, I will have my Visa for France and I will have seen my all time favorite boy band, One Direction. Everything works out in the end!!

More later.
