Visa Stuff

I've got my visa appointment booked for Monday. I can't believe how much the phone call cost (£1.20 per minute!) and at the end I accidentally said "thank you for calling T-mobile," D'oh! They'll never let me in the States now.

There's a ridiculous amount of forms involved in the process. There's the one Yummy Jobs filled in which was pretty painless because I just had to sign the bottom. Then there's some others you have to download from the American Embassy's website that want to know loads and loads of stuff that I had no idea about, like where my passport was issued (?) and, like the numpty I am, I filled in the form which was for males only (i guess girls can't be terrorists) and that was asking for every country you'd been to in the last 10 years! Considering the cruises I've been on, that's a lot to ask of someone like me. Luckily I realised I'd filled in the wrong one so now I've got all the right ones filled in and printed off. Now there's just the worrying for the actual interview. Other's who have been have told me it's pretty painless, you just sit around for two hours, get asked one or two questions and job done!

I'm still nervous though.

I've actually been so nervous that I forgot to be scared for tomorrow. I'm supposed to be doing a bungee jump amongst other things...eek! Scary stuff. Well, at least I know that if I get through all of that I should be able to face the embassy without fear...hopefully.
