Hello Blogger World! Good afternoon, or evening or morning, depending on where ever you've stumbled upon this. Me? Still writing from Iowa - hopefully not for too much longer though! I've missed the first day of my school in Spain - September 15 - and now I've missed Spain Inbound Orientation in Madrid - September 22-24. *tear* There's still about fourteen people across the U.S. waiting for their visas to Spain though, so there's going to be mini-orientation in October for us, which is a relief. I can't wait to meet all the other exchange students!
As for the status of our visas . . . I heard on a Facebook group -- for those of you who don't know, exchange students connect like crazy on Facebook -- that three were issued today, and that we should all have our visas by the end of the week. After it's issued, we should be departing the day after! I don't know how things will actually play out, and I don't want to get my hopes up, but being in Spain by next week would be amazing. I thought I would have to go to Spain's consulate in Chicago to pick up my visa, but now I'm not sure. I was looking forward to going to Chicago, because my mom and I were going to spend two days up there together as bonding time before I'm off to the other side of the world for ten months, you know? I guess we'll just have to figure out something else to do. We both just want me to be in Spain as soon as possible.
Shout-out to Caroline from Kentucky who knows exactly how I've been feeling. She's still waiting for her visa too. About a week ago on Facebook, she said, "
