Yesterday I got a new phone: the HTC Droid Eris. It's a smart phone which means that I will owe more money a month, but it's about time that I upgraded. Plus I seriously needed a new phone because my old one was crapping out. I spent all of last night adding contacts and syncing to Facebook and twitter. Because I am a nerd it was fun. The phone isn't international though, so when a few days before I go to London I will transfer my number back to an older phone so I don't have to pay data charges while I am abroad. I will have to get a phone over there for emergency purposes as well.
But my biggest and favorite gift came today, about 45 minutes ago. My VISA arrived via FedEx. My friend and travel buddy, Bailey, called me up to tell me that she got hers and I was happy for her but sad for me. So what do I do? I immediately go check the status of my Visa at
itseasy.com. No surprises, it says its "processing". They provide the option for you to check your status, but they don't really update it very well. About five minutes after that the doorbell rang and it was FedEx with my phone's car charger and my Visa. I squealed a little bit. There may have been jumping with a slight victory dance as well.
Now nothing is standing in my way of London and working in London. Work is the reason I needed the visa in the first place. I got a sweet internship at TDG (The Design Group). They do branding and labeling for big companies like Olay and Nestle. Anyway, that's my update for now. See you soon!
Pip Pip Cheerio!
