Someone turn the speed down on this treadmill...

For four days, my mornings have consisted of waking up at 7am and listening to a dial tone for a straight hour with no success. I still have no word on my visa application, and with little more than two weeks to go, it's starting to get imperative that I find it. The Swedish embassy in Washington D.C. though, apparently has little to say about it outside of "the visa lines are still busy, please continue to hold to hold your position in the line."

Grrr.

This week is my last week in Seattle. They might as well tap caffeine to my veins. Between packing up my shit from the house, wrapping up experiments and administrative tasks at work, happy hours and well-intended celebratory goodbye parties, looking for Swedish apartments (which are near nonexistent), monitoring Craigslist, and working on my first school assignment, this is probably the equivalent to a finals week in college. To make matters worse, Monday I heard word that my replacement quit. Balls.

At least, after this, I'll have 3 weeks of blissful unemployment before plunging back into school. I'm going to have to run 5 miles each day just to relax again---

Holy shit I just got someone. MY VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED.
