Invariably, whenever I get a visa (I can say that now...I'm on my third), I always promise myself that I'll stop worrying once some step of the process is finished. It feels SO GOOD after I complete a step and there's a giant WHOOSH of relief, but then I always find something else to worry about. Sometimes, it takes me 10 whole minutes. Sometimes, it's while I haven't even finished the step I'm on.
But I'm pretty much on the very last step of this thing. I've been waiting for my passport to be on its way to NYC for a long, long time. Other than The Great Diploma Fiasco* that ensued after my notarized and apostilled degree was lost by the USPS and my employer just sitting on my documents for a week and a half, it's been ok. Better than last year, haha. And once that visa shows up, it really feels worth it.
* You can see a recap of said fiasco in comic form on my artsy blog, posted January 14th of this year. It's there and not here because of mad swears. I try and keep it relatively PG-13 up in here.
All this time and stress and money for a shiny sticker. Well, with a German passport and grad school in my future, more of such adventures to come!
Life's pretty good.
Wish me luck explaining to Noah that I'm leaving in just a few weeks. And I'll try not to obsess over not knowing my employer's birthday for that application form. ^_^
Ok, time to play Call of Duty 3 with Noah. Later, dudes.
