Applying for a visa and American bureaucracy.

It has been a while since I've posted anything on this blog. This is because nothing of importance has actually happened until now. I've paid my SEVIS and Visa fees and gone through all the paperwork and now all that remains is to wait for the visa interview.

I expected the paperwork to be extremely difficult and, well, bureaucratic. However I found the whole experience to be quite streamlined and straightforward. Partly because my host university had attached some excellent instructions. D-day is less than 50 days away and it still seems so surreal and distant. I guess the excitement and panicking sets in when I have the visa in my hands.

Oh my god this is actually happening
