It Came!!!

My Student Visa is at my house and has been for a week. I'm very relieved. At first, the website said to get it in at least three weeks before you left and it'd take about a week for US citizens. Then, the Atlanta consulate told my dad that it wouldn't be ready by the 14th of August and it'd be a stretch to get it done by the 31st, which is when I leave for Brussels. And then, low and behold, it arrives last Saturday afternoon. So, I'm relieved. I was prepared to start calling on Monday, bugging them about it. I mean, I'm fairly boring...my parents are financially stable, I'm perfectly healthy (ish) with no diseases, I don't have a criminal record...why would it take so long? But maybe the person was just being cautious. At any rate, I'm glad to have one less thing to worry about. Now if only the airports would stop freaking out...
