Applied for my Visa

So, I got an email from Cynthia (my travel cuts agent) saying she had some thinger for me to pick up and to come in sometime this week, which I was going to do anyway to apply for my visa so yay! Well, I got there and it was actually some other persons package thing... but whatever, we were going in anyway. So, I handed in my visa application, my bank statement, two passport photos (which are just as blah looking as my current passport photos) and my actual passport. I also bought my travel isurance for now til I come home for Christmas. Then, as I was sitting there all my paperwork went off with a courier to head office.

My next step is to book my flight... ahh! Well, my actual next step is to give notice at work on Friday. Yaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! For awhile I toyed with the idea of offering to work a few shifts here and there between getting back from the cottage and leaving for Ireland but the smarter choice seems to be take as much time as I can to get my stuff together. I want to have all of my stuff organized, including the stuff thats not coming with me so that when I come home its not a total disaster.

So right now I'm torn between leaving on the 8th, a tuesday when I also have a doctors appointment. Or waiting a week. The upside of waiting a week is less time spent in hostels/ less money spent. My big worry right now is that I will find an apartment in the second half of september and have to pay the rent for the whole month... which would bug me.

Anyways, I never really accomplished any of that to do list from my last post so I'm going to try to be productive. I'm getting excited though, its all starting to feel real.
