Should hear something back today on whether it will work for the Visas or I’ll have to get a different provider. In all it has been a wonderful (and by wonderful I mean enlightening, if not wholly frustrating) experience figuring out the process.

So, yea! Listening to Shakira, sitting in my apartment, drinking coffee, glad that things are starting to sort out. Another few weeks and I’ll be teaching English to people, with any luck at all.

All for now.
