Dear Visa Application,
I greatly dislike you. I wish you were easier, more understandable.
But you will get me to where I need to be.
So, I guess you’re okay. I guess.
Love,
Amanda
I woke up in a panic today. I couldn’t breathe.
What am I doing??
This does not bode well for my remaining three months in the country.
August 23rd
August 23rd. The date that I leave! I fly away. Leavin’ on a jet plane. To cross the Atlantic, the big blue ocean, the pond, as it were.
My ticket is booked. My London people have been contacted. They’re ready for me.
I’ll be housing sitting for M&M when I first get over there, which I am so thankful for. I’m so lucky to have wonderful people there who are watching out for me. They make this seem so much more possible.
Can’t wait to see them and the kiddos!
Next on the agenda: the dreaded Visa application. But right now, I’m so excited and giddy that it doesn’t seem so overwhelming. Sadly, that won’t last and i’ll eventually go back to the bundle of nerves that I always am.
Crushing It!
Today has been a wonderful day. I’ll be working in D.C for the Source Theatre Festival in June and I booked my one way ticket to London.
Saturday is my interview with the Capital Fringe Festival. Hopefully the crushing it streak will continue for just a bit longer.
Steps in the right direction
5 Months.
In 5 Months I will be starting my first day at LAMDA. I have my finances in order. I’m buying my plane ticket this week. I’ve started to look into housing. Things are moving along. My summer plans are still up in the air but that’s normal. Life is good.
Distance.
I am not very good at distancing myself from things. I throw myself into every situation, whether it’s healthy or not. I have come to terms with this “character flaw” and I embrace the fact that I can get lost in almost any project, idea, etc.
The down side is that I need, every once in a while, to take a step back, breathe and re-evaluate.
And then I throw myself in all over again.
My registration is in. The check is being figured out on Friday. One step closer.
It’s starting to feel really real, ya’ll!
6 Months
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Time goes by, so slowly
I am starting to feel restless. There is a ton that needs to get done before I move but if I could go today, I would.
Waiting sucks.
Patience is a virtue that I have never really had. I work on it everyday and some days are better than others.
Today is not one of the good days.
No funding
Two little words that I really didn’t want to hear.
But seem so perfect on a gloomy and rainy day.
