Went to my VISA appointment on the 28th and was told I was too late. They took my picture, finger prints, money, papers and passport. I can't get on the plane without my passport. They don't think my VISA will be done by leave time on the 4th of Jan. They suggested changing my plane ticket. Which means changing the train ticket too. :-( I have already packed my suitcases, got a flat (studio apartment) in France, classes planned, euros for the trip and I'm actually getting excited now. I'll have a great time in France..... if I ever get there
