A Big Step

Longest. Day. Ever. Not really, but it sure felt like it. Woke up at 5 to catch the train at dawn to go figure out my visa. After a harrowing ordeal involving additional requirements, miscommunications, and out-of-office messages, as well as an entire day spent downtown for something the size of a postage stamp, I finally got what I needed. With this last major step in the legal process, the trip is finally starting to feel imminent! I guess the issue of packing is next on my plate... oh boy. One week left; I have no idea what to expect, but I'm starting to believe it could be pretty fun! :)
