Impatience...

Okay I'm having a slight issue with feeling anxious about a few things.

There have been some delays in getting my visa application processed. And since making arrangements to provide the High Commission with the necessary missing documents, I've been left hanging. The lady in Ottawa hasn't even told me that she received any of it - even though I asked her to. They sent back my passport, job offer letter and a receipt for what I paid them...but I was expecting my visa to be in there. It wasn't.

I'm panicking because last I heard, Emma told me that she was trying to get a hold of the travel agent to get a copy of my itinerary and such to give to the High Commission. Yet again, haven't heard anything. Only today did I wake up and remember that I should be freaking out. And so I am.

I have 12 days to make sure that they have everything. Otherwise it will not be processed before I leave. Not cool.

I also have a real big problem with waiting a whole month before finding out what sorts of funds are in my onSite account. I hate calling Winn and always asking what's in there. But I don't like waiting - there are people at church giving me looks as if I should be thanking them. A lot of people ask me where the fundraising is at, and how much more I need. How can I answer them?

"Umm, a month ago I had half of it..."

That's exactly how I answer them. And then I explain that I only get a detailed update once a month, so I never know if anyone has contributed for a long time - sometimes over a month after they actually give. So I hope no one is taking offense right now with me not having thanked them yet.

I'm so afraid to be a bother by always asking the school how much money's in the account. Anyways...it's the beginning of the month. Hopefully I'll hear from them soon.

Ok. Breakfast time. Apparently 7 am is the new hour of worry...EEP!
