So I've learned the hard way that visa applications are not fun. And if not taken as seriously as they should be, can be costly. Tomorrow I will finally receive my passport for my trip. However, I need to send my passport back to the embassy, so they can send my visa/passport to me once it's ready. Let's just cross our fingers that I won't need my passport after I get there for two weeks or so.
Now that everything is packed and ready, I am anxious to get this trip going. I officially leave DFW at 2PM on Sunday to fly to Denver. After my stop in Denver, I am on my way to Europe (London first) and then arrive in Prague at 6:50PM on Monday. Tuesday is a relaxed day- I will probably be doing visa things and getting my room together (Ikea is only a couple of blocks away!). Then Wednesday orientation/trips/classes start! Yikes!
Today and tomorrow are my last "family" days- which is really nice since Rikki and Stef can both come up to Decatur! Then off to the airport! :)
Hopefully these get a lot more interesting once I actually am over there. Also- a huge Happy Birthday to Jeffrey! Sorry I'm not there to celebrate- but you'll get one awesome present from Europe! (yay!)

One Month!
Today it finally hit me that I am going to be off in a foreign country come September! I feel like I have so much to do paperwork-wise, but most of it has to be completed at Mines. I guess the realization also includes graduation/growing up. Once this month is over, my time as a college kid living at home in Texas is officially over. Unless I want to enroll in grad school (which more than likely is going to wait).
With everything being said, I am so ecstatic to get this journey started. I am researching areas to visit (and stay away from) in Prague; as well as places I might visit outside of the Czech Republic. I have gotten my blog, my actual journal and my planner ready to go! I feel like the documentation of this trip will be over kill, but lord knows with my forgetfulness, I need the extra help. :)
As the trip gets closer, I'll be posting more often; however, right now it's just a bunch of paperwork mess. Until then!
