The Suck!™
Self-deprecation is worth its weight in smoldering phoenix-ashes and baby unicorn tears.
It's official: Spain, here I come.
or; visa application process, you suck.

After a lot of rigmarole and some superior hoop-jumping, everything is finally in place for my studies in Spain - more or less.
I had to move my flight - I was supposed to leave yesterday, but the visa would not have arrived in time.
I had to bug the visa department of the Spanish Consulate incessantly.
I'm going to miss the first week of school, so I'll be a bit behind when I get there.
But all this is okay. All these are hurdles that I'm willing to jump to study in Spain.
And the hurdle-jumping is (mostly) through. Okay, so I may not have a place to stay yet, but me and my professor's son are probably going to get a place together, to save on rent.
But that's small potatoes compared to the not having the visa - which just showed up on my front steps, dropped off by my mail lady.
Yay. It might seem like I'm not too excited about it, but if you could see the smile on my face.

Bueno!
I would respond completely in Spanish, but I'm tired and getting kind of rusty.
Don't forget to say "Hola" to those hot Spanish chicas.

What about the girl?
Honestly?
What about the girl?
I don't know. I still really like her, and she really seems to like me, but what kind of schmuck would I be if I asked her to "wait for me"?
If she's here when I come home, great. If not, there's plenty more opportunities out there.
Thanks, everyone! Wait until I start posting pictures!
