I have been denied my Visa on the decision of the FP. I posted something like this on Fb and while my first entry of 2011 was going to be a chipper recount of my Christmas break, this pretty much put a big, massive, wet, all-encompassing  damper on whatever plans I had for the early part of the year ( Read more... )

2011. The future is now...or so I thought. I would have expected more of this time as, when small, 2011 seems eons and eons away. But, now we all art here and whatnot. However ( Read more... )

I've never considered myself a particularly 'delicate' person and have willingly gone on with my day in full stride no matter what. By 'no matter what' I mean illness, emotional distress, or, lets be frank, a little too much Good Will via my buddy vino bile. But today...

I taught this morning and, while I could explain the in and outs of Unit Four: ( Read more... )

I have my reapplication stamp. This is a good thing, but, still need to sort of a few things like ( Read more... )

As I mentioned in my last post Glossa cheerfully agreed to sponsor my Visa renewal coast and subsequent trip. While no school is perfect, I pretty much love my supervisors right now and, in the spirit of Internationl Relations, hope my appointment tomorrow doesn't turn out to be a total wash.

Proc?

Due to a technicality concerning my current ( Read more... )

I have an August 17th visa re-application appointment in Vienna.

I need to be at the Czech Embassy in said city by 9 am even though the above is at 9:30. Am I nervous, yes, I am. Mind you, its not so much the paperwork issues, its the money issues. I'm counting my Crowns like no tomorrow and, unless the school sponsors me in some way, I cannot ( Read more... )

...is what I have left.

Re; my last post i.e. an online lament over my perceived lack of organization and inability to Just Pull Myself Together, I have now Managed To Sort Things Out and Feel Less Like Curling Up in a Ball and Doing Nothing. Results;

For a Virgo, I am feeling very out-of-control and so, so overwhelmed/semi-disorganized that I need a far superior Virgo to come along and  get me going.
Seriously. I hate feeling overwhelmed and helpless and just not together. Just as I get one thing done, two more things rear demanding heads and I think 'I'm never going to get through this.' I ( Read more... )

Nothing like getting 'Friended' on Facebook from old HS chums.
Brings about the kind of sensation you might associate with sudden rushes of failure or, the niggling suspicion that you haven't ( not in the least, most remote way) lived up to anyones expectations. Mind you, I don't mind that she 'friended' me as I still think of her fondly and would ( Read more... )

As I may, or may not have, mentioned before, I'm having trouble getting my Visa renewed. Why? Well, while I would like to place the blame on the ever-changing, semi-obscure, International grandstanding of Modern Czech Bureaucracy, I must lay the professional blame on Rob whose job ( really, he was my Visa Agent) was to get all my essential ( Read more... )
