But finally, I've had a moment of hope. The woman who works at the consulate went through every document and explained why each of them was wrong and what I needed to fix. This form didn't have a city, this form was illegible, and you need to send your transcripts. Stressful, don't get me wrong, but nothing too outrageous. At the end of the call, she confusedly asked me when I would be leaving for Belgium. I responded accordingly and I think I heard her confusion over the phone.
"The student visa only takes a few days to process, why are you in such a rush?"
Never had I heard such beautiful words. I relayed my thanks and quickly hung up the phone before crying of joy. After reading over and over again about how it takes over a month to get a student visa, a week sounded like music to my ears.
In celebration, I'm recording things that have made me happy recently:
1. I'm starting to learn French. I'm not great but hopefully this will give me a little bit of a head start before taking French 101.
2. I'm making money. Considering all I've done this summer is work and shop, I'm doing pretty well for myself.
3. I bought three JCrew bathing suit pieces. This one is a little bittersweet because I know I should be saving my money for more practical, Europe-friendly apparel but these pieces are so stinkin' cute.
4. I've been eating healthy and exercising. All I drink nowadays are smoothies and actually pretty delicious. I use strawberries, bananas, mango, orange juice, yogurt, and then some kale and spinach. Yes the drink turns out green in the end, but in a way it almost makes it seem healthier.
5. I've fallen in love. Okay, well I've only met him a few days ago and I've spoken like, three words to him, but I'm sure he feels the same way, right? Right, guys?
6. My travel buddy Olga is so down to explore Europe and it makes me super excited to go see castles and museums and festivals.
