Today my documents are being submitted to the embassy for my visa, and I'm currently worried that I might have filled out the forms a bit sloppily. On my way home, I kept thinking: is this really happening? For many, this trip is just a cool idea for how to spend the summer. For me, it's like deciding to fly into space... I used to be afraid of the interview, but now I don't really care because I believe everything will go as it should. And to be honest, I'm just tired of thinking about it...

So, I'm waiting for the interview and the offer.

The day off went great!

Still waiting.

I messaged an old friend—she went in '08 and promised to give me some useful phone numbers and contacts of people she knows... oh, I just want to get everything sorted out already!!!
