*Our internet died for two days. During that time Michael Jackson also died. Coincidence?

*I heard LJ crashed from all the OMG MICHAEL JACKSON DIED posts. Glad I was out of the loop.

*Less than 6 hours of sleep last night. Going down to San Jose and Mountainview was totally worth it.

*I'm reading Watchmen. It's ok. I can see how it was a mind blower at the time. Sorry, [livejournal.com profile] hrafntinna. Still working my way through Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. It's what I read aloud to Bennett, so we only get a chapter or two a day. Next up on my reading list: the Promethea graphic novels for me and for reading aloud purposes, The Magic Pudding.

*We leave town in three weeks. I STILL have NOT received my visa paperwork from the University. I... I just... It's a really good thing that I am many thousands of miles away because I need to lay down the admin law over there. AAAHHHH! I NEED TO APPLY FOR MY FUCKING VISA.

*I am beginning to be more than a little preoccupied, stressed and distracted with all that needs to be done in the next 3 weeks/2 months. I find that my attention span is not very big, my capacity for others is limited. I'm not a very good friend these days, I fear.

You are always a good friend.

If you still haven't got your visa paperwork by Wednesday, give me shout, I'm back in Lampeter at the end of the week.
I'll go and kick off after graduation on Friday. If needs be, I'll stand over them while they sort it out.

THANK YOU.

Mandy said she sent it at the end of May. I obviously never got it and every time I ask (via email) for a confirmation that she has resent it, she's silent. I think there may one or more steps necessary, but I'd just like to KNOW that, you know? Radio silence is not helpful.

Also, CONGRATS to you!

Which Mandy is this? I'll phone her on Monday and suggest she scan and email the documents rather than post them.
Failing that I'll take my laptop and portable scanner in on Thursday/Friday.
No room for excuses ey?

No, I need to have originals. I don't believe I can have scanned documents.

Oh, I also recommend getting in touch with the Union's Welfare and International officers about this. They might be able to do a bit more through official channels too.
I think it's welfare@lamp.ac.uk for the former but it might just be safer to email President Jimmy at president@lamp.ac.uk.

We've had some guy named Jeremy in the International Student office helping us. I may have to sic him on her. I just sent Mandy (Holder) a snotty email. Let me wait to hear her reply before you go over there.

But thank you.

Jeremy is a fantastic bloke and damn right you should sic him on her, I'm sure he'd relish the task.

I'll speak for the friends. You are being a good friend - and you need to concentrate on getting your sh*t done. We know that. We're here to help. While its tempting to try subterfuge to keep you here ;) - I'll do whatever necessary to get you on that plane and follow your path.
