A slight depression
sets in…
Today is a sad day, as it was supposed to be the day that I
left for Scotland. All day I kept telling myself: “now I would have been in
Chicago,” “now I would have been over the ocean and approaching Dublin,” “now I
would be arriving in Glasgow,” “now I’d be exhausted sitting on the train to
Aberdeen.” *Sigh* Thankfully, this delay isn’t very long and my time to leave
will come soon enough. Well, I do have one less thing to worry about now
though: I received an email confirmation from the British Embassy in Chicago
stating that my visa application was approved and issued. *Whew* I was
worried…I didn’t really think they’d deny me, but it seems like nothing about
this move is going as expected. I should most likely get my passport back
tomorrow via FedEx and will include a picture of the visa in case anyone is
curious… I know I am, as I’ve never seen what a visa stamp looks like.
