T-49 Days

Holy crap… did I just write that?  Forty nine days?  Really.  Excuse me, I’m going to go have a panic attack while screaming with excitement.

Nothing much to report, I’m basically in the inbetweens right now.  And by inbetweens I mean that I have submitted my visa application and my application for accommodations, but haven’t heard back from either.  But it had been awhile since I wrote anything, and for my fearless followers, I thought a bit of a progress report was in order.  

So that’s it, that’s my progress report… I’m waiting.  The progress bar is loading.  Give it two weeks, then we should be golden.  Provided I get a visa.  And accommodations… 
In other news, I got a job, so I hopefully won’t be nearly as broke upon arrival and might not have to feel horrifically guilty about the fact that I’ll be spending as much as I will be in London.  Yay!  I might even be able to pay towards my credit card bill a bit so I won’t be traveling abroad with massive credit card debt!  DOUBLE YAY!  

Just got a postcard from my friend who has been traveling in Scotland, so that was fun.  She gave me a few ideas about where I should visit while I’m there for Christmas.  And… yeah.  That’s about it.  Working, trying to get money, will hopefully have shoes to wear while I’m in London, which is currently the biggest thing I need.  Part of me wants to wait to buy them there so I won’t have to transport tennis shoes, the other part of me wants to buy them here so I know what I’m getting and how much I’m paying.  Also I want converse… Gotta rock the one good thing the USA is good at doing… even if we send out to china to get them……… oh America.  

I’ll check in again once I’ve heard from the Consulate about my visa app, or from Swansea about my accommodations.  

Until then, farewell my fearless followers, which I shall henceforth call you. Also I’ve been watching Jane Eyre.  Because Jane Eyre is amazing, and Michael Fassbender (Sp?) is beautiful and amazing.
