Game On
Sometimes miracles do happen...I got a call this morning from the Swedish Embassy announcing that my residence permit had been approved and was ready for me to pick it up. Bless that woman who asked for expedited review!
I spent the morning with Mom and Janie getting pedicures at L.A. Nails. Then down to Thaiphoon in Dupont for lunch with KT and a quick stop at the Embassy to pick up the residence permit. HURRAH!
So now its real. Unbelievably real. And, of course, I didn't really think I would be leaving on Wednesday, so I'm not exactly prepared. I did manage to have Janie record a message on my new travel alarm clock, so now the first thing I'll hear in the morning is "Good morning, Jen, time to wake up for school!"
Other than that, there are several loads of laundry to do, carry-ons to pack, and final boxes to move into the attic. And Wednesday afternoon, I'll be off to Dulles to begin my fantastic adventures abroad!
