expedited

Currently listening to: The Academy Is... "Neighbors"

I'm going overseas. yep yep, found out on Friday that I could, started filling out an application for a VISA only to realize...MY PASSPORT IS MISSING. Wha? How'd that happen? I can clearly remember holding it in my hand in my dorm room as I was packing, thinking "remember to take this home with you JUST IN CASE YOU NEED IT."

Then it gets cloudy, cuz I feel like I remember seeing it here in VA...but it's not here now.

So...

I have now officially reported my passport as missing, I have applied for a new one, and I have "expedited" it, which sounds official but really means nothing more than "pay more money to possibly get a new passport anywhere between 1 to 4 weeks. If I get my new passport back in 1 week, amazing. 2 weeks, still good. 3 weeks, we're pushing it. 4 weeks...well, let's just say I'll have spent my summer sitting on my a**.

Supposedly my application will be mailed today overnight express first to Philly, then to New Orleans, then back here. Once I get it I can sent it to TDS and hopefully get my VISA in 5 days. This is going to be crazy waiting for this stuff.

If everything is late, well, at least my tickets are refundable...to an extent. I can change them for $200. If I did that, then I might go overseas for Christmas or save the tickets for next summer.

Yes, I have tickets. We went on ahead and bought them. Smart? maybe not. I arrive back stateside with just one week to get over jet lag and pack up my room here to move back to good ol' Misery for school.

Honestly, I haven't felt stable or at peace or whatever you want to call it since before Christmas.
I hate this type of living. I don't mind it when I have control over where I'm moving...but this constant moving between dorm and grandparents' home is just so annoying.

So there's my update.
