One week…one week…one more week!!!
The thought of only 7 short days is ALL that lingers on my brain. I woke up this morning with nothing but shear panic thinking about all the things that I still have to get done. “Go to the bank, finish packing up my clothes that just went through the wash, be sure to charge my iPod, CRAP…don’t forget to find those adapters!” My life for the past two weeks has been nothing short of random spouts of anxiety followed by happy bursts of excitement (it’s better not to ask.)
As the thought of finally fulfilling my childhood dream of visiting London nears closer, I can’t help but wonder why my panic attacks are ultimately outweighing my excitement!? Perhaps it has something to do with my passport scare? Long story short, my parents and I thought that rather than just having misplaced my passport (it was lying underneath my father’s desk in his study) that it had actually been lost or stolen when sending it to the British Consulate in NYC. Well, imagine our relief when we finally did find it; literally all I could do was laugh at the fact that it was safe in our house the entire time.
Problem Solved!? I think not.
Due to this unfortunate incident, my Visa application was delayed by a few days now and we had to resend everything back to the British Consulate. I am still waiting for my passport & Visa’s return and I must admit, I am extremely terrified that they won’t be returned to me on time :(. All I can do is hope for the best and have been trying to think positively about the whole situation, but its still a huge distraction knowing that the key to my leaving the country is in someone else’s hands. But…for now I’m just going to continue riding out those positivity vibes and pray for the best! That’s all a girl can do before entering on one of the biggest adventures of her life; especially when its finally becoming a reality!
