I started my application for my Visa/Entry Clearance today. It's cool you can do the actual application on line, but then you still have to mail them your passport *gulp* and they put a special sticker in there or something and mail it back. I still haven't got it all figured out. It'll also set you back US$68. Not too bad I guess. Hope to have that done by the end of the week, giving me about four weeks to get it back in time.

I also started shopping for lots of cute sneakers (trainers) today since I suspect my days of teetering around on high heels and cute skirts are over. Back into full time college mode, nice warm jeans, comfy shoes, warm coats, hiking all over the city. Odd; it feels a little nice to be so practical...
