Well so far the visa application process has been rather extensive. After 10 tries of calling the consulate, I finally got through and made my appointment to apply for my visa..(applauses are appreciated). After that, I called and got my certified birth certificate. The only thing left to take care of is the Apostille Certification for my police record and my medical check up.

So far, I'm over halfway done on the money needed for my trip, which is flippin sweet....I haven't even sent out my fundraising letters yet either. My computer and all the supplies I needed came in today, which is really awesome. the only thing left to get is Quark Xpress 7, which is turning out to be a royal pain in the butt. Everything else is going smoothly.
