Things are better (a bit). I've just finished a visa application for the United States. I'm going to fly to Peoria, IL in two weeks (for two weeks worth of meetings).

The interview wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I waited in line from 8AM to 10AM for my turn. One by one interviewees before me would leave the room either baffled, confused, smiling, upset, mad, sad, etc. I didn't take long with the consul. He was quick and I answered the questions directly.

As you know, I got approved. Whilst other folks would get denied one of whom needed to go to visit her sister who's in a terrible condition. I felt bad for her.

I'm now getting myself ready for the trip. Getting my tickets and making my cash advances. I need money of course. I have also asked friends if there are things they needed from the US that I could buy for them.

The thing is, I'm not so excited for this trip. I know the responsibilities I would be incurring once I complete the tasks in the US. I'll be stuck with this project for a while. BUGGER!!!

In other news, our last volleyball game is tonight and I hope we win. If we do win, we'll be the top seed for the semi final matches and would have the twice-to-beat opportunity. I'm excited.
