This is so complicated!

Alright, this Visa process is really absolutely ridiculous.

The NY Visa Team emailed me and told me they were going to refuse my Visa if I didn't send them my CAS, original birth certificate, and financial documents within the week. I emailed Queen Mary and told them I needed the CAS now, and the guy in charge, Harry, is on vacation. So I emailed the next person, Ceri (who I thought was a woman, but apparently Ceri is a man's name oops), and he said he sent the stuff to the admissions office and I should have it by this week.

Anyway, the Visa office doesn't have a phone number I can call, unless I want to pay $3/minute for a phone call. So I emailed them and explained to them the situation. I've been looking through my emails and LC, my study abroad officer, had sent me some things about getting everything together in order, but because I applied to late I was confused about everything because I didn't really get to talk to LC that much in person.

Oh my gosh this is complicated.

I just redid my resume and submitted it to EUSA in London format (I guess US resumes aren't in the right format?) so my application for my internship is complete. I'm going to get a background check for that in a few hours.

I really don't know what I'm going to do if the NY Visa Team refuses my Visa before I get them all of my information. This is absolutely awful and a huge mess. My mom also wants me to email my adviser at school and ask her if my Visa gets denied and I can't go, how do I register for classes this fall and everything. Can you imagine? What if I'm moving into school this weekend? That won't happen though.

Speaking of messes, my room is a mess. Since I'm only going to take two or three suitcases, we've been cleaning out my basement that has all of my stuff from college and putting the stuff into my bedroom. Clothes and boxes are everywhere.

Today is my mom's birthday and it's totally stressing her out that I have to do all of this stuff, I wish I would have understood what I had to do and I would've had this done already.

Oh and I called off work today to get all of this stuff done, so hopefully I actually get it done.

The people from Glimpse emailed me and said there were so many applications that they need another week to review them. That's not a good sign for me, I don't think I really have a chance because they're probably looking to have correspondents from the East or Africa, rather than London.

Here's one of my pictures I submitted for Glimpse, I took it in the South Side:

Hopefully this is all resolved soon. I emailed the NY Visa Team twice, I hope they reply today.
