well there's good news, and there's bad news

it is evening. i get home after a few g&ts and am slightly tipsy. i check my e-mail and make a life-changing discovery: my visa has been approved!! i dance around the living room (slightly tipsy- see above). i e-mail my travel agent immediately (i woulda called if i had her mobile number) to see if i can move my flight forward.

the next day i am working and can't check my e-mail to see if the agent has replied. i am supposed to be taking minutes in a very important seminar (they're all very important, natch) but instead i am mentally compiling a list of all the things i still have to do before i can leave for london.

i get home and race to check my e-mail: my flight is unchangeable and i still have to wait till april 17. i cry. a lot.
