Passport? Plane Ticket?

So the above mentioned items would be really nice to have right now! I know what you're thinking now....she's never going to get a passport in time! However, I do actually have a passport, two in fact, I just can't seem to locate either one of them. They should both be very active at this time though! I'm hoping not to have to get another replacement, but I really am at a loss for locating either passport! As for the plane ticket....I feel I'm getting closer to being able to book a ticket! Who knew there would be thousands of little details to work out?

Anyway, I have heard from some of my professors at school as far as working out some much needed credit issues goes...and although I'm still waiting to hear from the director of my program, I think getting the number of credits I need will not be a problem! So yay for that! One hurdle somewhat down!

It's getting stressful to say the least, but I'm getting increasingly more excited! Once again I'll keep you posted! I wish I myself knew just a bit more at this point...

Please put me on a plane today...

Thought I'd update on the most recent news that I've received reference this impending departure...

There seems to be some confusion on visa requirements at this time, so that's in the process of being sorted out. I have also been approved and been extended an invitation to be a part of the University of Glamorgan for a period of six months. This means I will be gone two terms of their school and I will miss both semesters at my school. The problem now lies in whether or not I can get enough credit for this time away, so that is also in the process of being worked out. So as of right now I will be leaving mid-September and returning mid-March....yep that's right folks! Mid-March.

I'm still very excited and very scared. It's quite a process and I don't know how much energy I have to devote to all of this right now. However, now that I have moved out of my apartment in St. Louis and am trying to get settled back into life in Kansas City, maybe I'll be able to focus more of my attention on matters surrounding this opportunity!

I'll keep you posted...
