So I plan on actually blogging again once I get to London so that if anything else I have a record of what I did when I'm very old and feel nostalgic. Of course the way things are right now I'm afraid I won't even make it there. Everything involving my passport and visa got delayed and while yes it is mainly my fault I thought it wouldn't have been this screwed up.
I sent my passport to the consulate like 2 weeks ago to get a visa in order to work because with the conversion and everything else costs are doubled for everything in London. So because of the holidays and such I haven't gotten it back yet and my flight to Newark to pick up the group flight to London is at like 10am. I was suppose to get an email when my visa was processed and then they overnight it back...I've received no email so I mean that means I'm screwed unless for some reason they didn't email me and I'll get an early delivery from UPS in the morning. If so everything goes as planned except for that I am not as packed as I should be because I assumed I wouldn't be flying out until the end of the week. If it doesn't come early in the morning and lets say around noon instead my dad and I are going to haul ass to New Jersey and hopefully get me there in time for the 9:50pm flight to London. I'm not quite sure why we're being optimistic about all this because it's not going to work out like this. 99% sure that whats going to happen is I don't get it until like Wed/Thursday because of New Years, eat both tickets (well one way of the london flight), miss pretty much all of my first orientation which consisted of a hotel stay, free food and free theater and then hopefully get there in time for this weekend when I move into my dorm room and a bunch of Babson players kids who are all over London right now meet up. I'm really hoping I don't have to pay an arm and a leg in order to get new plane tickets....I just don't have that kinda money...ugh.
I'm hoping everything works out....and I mean it will and as my parents say "2 months from now you won't even remember all this stress"....but still I mean I'm scared as it is and going through John withdrawal so over all I'm just not a happy camper. But no matter how I look at it I am going to london for a semester so I don't feel sorry for myself in the least...I just wish I hadn't messed this all up so bad.
Well back to packing in case that UPS man does show up and if he does I'm pretty sure I am going to hug him...like literally...I won't be able to control myself.
Oh so get this they want me to only bring ONE suitcase for FIVE MONTHS! How does that make sense and especially because I want to bring the new guitar as my carry on it's very difficult....Good thing I'm not obsessed with shoes....
