i've had enough of this parade

I'm damn stressed over this exchange thing man. I have a million and one things to settle! And soon!

My air tickets aren't confirmed yet, but I'm hoping to settle them by tomorrow since flights are becoming fully booked very quickly. I haven't settled my housing applications yet, cuz I'm still waiting for the rest of the exchange pple to decide on which hall to apply for. I have an idea of where I want to stay in already, though. But I don't wanna be extra and stay away from them haha. My course mapping is a mess, though I've more or less settled the modules I want to take. I'm just waiting for Jessie from the dean's office to come back so she can approve my modules.

And then there's the issue of visa applications. This is super frustrating man. I have to fill up 234829734 forms, specially get a 50mm by 50mm photo, pay $160 + US$100 in application fees, book an appointment with the US embassy, and do a million other miscellenaous stuff. Shucks. Why is it so troublesome to go the US??

Oh and I have no idea how to go about settling my finances in the US. Everyone tells me different things man! But this isn't so urgent yet.

Plus I'm kinda worried about loneliness, especially since I'm most likely gonna be travelling there on my own. Actually I'm more concerned about losing my way, given that I'm a blur kok when it comes to directions. And the prospect of being away from home for 6 months is daunting. I don't know if I can survive, or if I'll die from homesickness. I guess I'll get used to being away after a while? If Jan can do it, so can I!!

And yeah, I'm never really lonely though I can be alone, cuz I have the Lord beside me :) What I'm really looking forward to is the travelling I may be doing during the hols next year haha. I'm kinda excited about going to see my aunt in Vancouver haha.

BUT, before all of that, I have to remember to STUDY. EXAMS ARE COMING!!

Argh. I don't foresee any time for rest and relaxation coming up soon. Pfft.

I've had enough of this parade
I'm thinking of the words to say
We open up unfinished parts
Broken up it's only love
