Visa Application Sent

I finally FedExed off my visa application for Spain today. There is so much paperwork involved and so many copies to make and things to collect that I am nervous I didn't do something right. But be that as it may, I sent it off with hope that it will be returned to me promptly and in the desired state (with a Long-Term Student Visa taped onto one of the pages in my passport).

Assuming that my visa comes back in the beginning/middle of August, I will be able to buy my plane ticket to Madrid. My hopes are to arrived in Spain around September 15th, but that all depends on the timeliness of the return of my visa.

...we shall see...
