how to screw up your visa application

1. you can forget that the photo they are asking you for, has a specific requirements and end up running for hours looking for a photographer who can actually do it and do it in 10minutes.
2. you can wake up too late and still without The Application form printed.
3. you can stand in a line at the post office due to some technical problems with computers- its 9h15 and you still need to print out those forms not mentioning getting to the Consulate( where you should be at 10h00)
4. you can wait at the internet cafe for like 20min because stuff had their cigarette brake.
5. you can get lost at montparnasse metro station.

After I finally got into the Consulate I had really pleasant conversation with a girl while taking my finger prints:
-ooooh.. you want to go to Chicago??Im coming from Chicago!!

(first points for me!)

then second conversation(this time with a guy, while checking if those fingerprints are really mine):

-you prefer english or french?(tricky question, huh?i almost answered: well im more into swedish guys, no offence..:)
me(hesitating): english
-ooh, good (another point for me)
me: (smile)
-so what are you doing in Paris?
me: studying, having fun.. I love this place so much that I want to come back.. for sure:)
-ok. you should get back your passeport with visa in two days.

I am going to USA this june!!!:)
