Visa and 33 Days!

I got an e-mail last night from the program. I had e-mailed them about my visa documentation, because the program gets the certificate of eligability for me, which is what I need to get my visa. 33 days to go, and I don't have my visa stuff. It's kind of a concern for me, more than the clothes and stuff that I need while I'm there, 'cause without a visa, I can't get to Japan.

Anyway, I got an e-mail last night from the person who hooks me up with the Japanese partner of my exchange program, and it said

" Thank you for your email. Waiting for visa documentation to arrive is always a bit difficult for students and their families. In preparing for such a big excursion it can be very anxiety-provoking to think that one of the most important aspects of your trip, getting the visa, has not yet been taken care of. However, the paperwork has always arrived in time for students to apply and receive their visas before their departure. Unfortunately there's not a lot that I can do on my end so we'll just have to sit tight and be patient. I will of course inform you as soon as I have any new information regarding your certificate of eligibility.".

So I'll have to "sit tight". Wish me luck. I hate waiting, lol.

33 days!!!!
