Funny story. To apply for my visa, I had to send in my passport with a self-addressed envelope. So about two weeks after I sent my whole application in, I got my passport back. I let out a huge sigh of relief, because honestly, I was really nervous about having my passport out in the postal system. But, I was still waiting for my visa to come in the mail. I had no idea what it would be or look like. Maybe a slip of paper, or a little booklet, like a passport. Maybe a little ID card type of thing. I was starting to get nervous because I'm leaving in about 11 days (what!!?) and it still hadn't come in the mail. So, I e-mailed Natalija, who is my correspondant at LCC, and asked if she had access to some contact info about where my visa was in the world at that point. She asked if I had got my passport back. I said yes. She said, "your visa should be glued to one of the pages in the passport."
Wow, what a dork. I was waiting and waiting, and if I hadn't asked, I would have had a fit of nerves because I thought I didn't have my visa, when really I had it all along. My mom said, "that would make a great object lesson!" (She's all about object lessons.) So, make of it what you may, I got my visa!!
And I leave in 11 days. Oh my stars.
