Visa = semi done
It is 12:30 am, midnight morning, and we're going into Tuesday, and I'm wide awake, and I've just semi finished my visa applications. Notice the 's' on applications. I had been stalling and stalling, I think mainly because I didn't want to read 10 pages of "this is what you're filling out" before I filled out the actual documents. Well, I just got down to it. It's been weighing on my shoulders for, dare I say, weeks! I just had to at least start. And I'm almost done. I thrive on late night hours. I'm a night person, I think I can only truly finish things that need to be done when it's dark and silent outside; which is unfortunate since I usually spend my days lamenting on what I have to do that day, wasting my time worrying (this will be a theme you will soon find out), and basically not getting any work done. Anyway, almost done because I sent a long, long list of questions to a Baha'i friend in Australia who's helping with the application process. It was a long, long, long list until I got up courage and read those 10 preface pages and found out that half of my questions were answered right there. That goes to show you, read the questions before you answer, kids. The funny thing is, I'm sitting there, looking at English letters and phrases, and saying to myself "Why don't I understand this?! It's English. I can read. Why doesn't it make sense?!" I swear, it's like a whole different language. It's not difficult, but when you're trying to figure out what "please lodge your application" means, I would think you're in trouble. Oh no. Basically all I have to do is wait for my friend to reply and I'll quickly fill in the blanks, send it in, and wait for the faithful day of "You've been accepted, see you tomorrow!" Hooray! Waiting is the hardest part. The anticipation. The unknown. The anxiety that builds up. I wish I was the type of person that would go with the flow, no care in the world, live everyday like it's the last. Oh, how life would be so much more relaxed. So, until then I will do the usual and let my anxiety build up and complain about it here, so y'all can dib dab in my world and experience the pain with me. Next stop: a finished application flying halfway across the world....Actually, next stop: bed.
