Something I forgot in the previous entry.

Progress on my visa application for the SWAP program is coming along pretty well, though nowhere near as quickly as I'd like. All that remains is to obtain a bank letter verifying that I have the appropriate support funds (currently being deposited into my new bank account). I was required to purchase insurance and book plane tickets in order to apply... so they'd better not turn me down now that I've spent all this money!

The new user icon is from my visa photo. My hair is growing, slowly. I'm not sure what the authorities will think of my appearance though...
