Long Awaited Arrival of Contract

Today, after two months of waiting, endless hours of grief, and anxiety that has by now created an ulcer in my stomach, my contract arrived.  And by arrived, I do not mean the original came by mail to my house.  No, today I received a scanned copy of my contract although at this point, I would take it any way it came to me.

So it's just a chain reaction from here, right? Everything will just fall into place?  Well let's hope so.

This is what I found out from my contract:
- I am located at two different schools, one in Caen and one in Mondeville ( a suburb about 10 minutes out of the city).  The one in Caen is a middle school and the one in Mondeville is a high school.
-I will be teaching through April 30 of next year.
-I believe they have set up housing for me, as it seems I have a room somewhere. Not sure about that one, I will have to check on that.

Believe it or not, now that I have my contract I am almost more nervous and anxious about moving to France.  There is so much for me to do before I leave!  But the only way I am going to remain sane is if I take one step at a time so that is my plan for now.  Next step: Get to my Visa appointment with all of the necessary documents.  Wish me luck!

Here is a map of France so you can see where Caen is and know where I will be for the next year:
