As you probably know I have been not so patiently waiting to
get my visa put together so I can leave for Kuwait. I was supposed to leave on
August 19, two months exactly to the day from when I returned from Guyana. It
is now August 30 and I am still in Lake Mills, IA. I have been working at
Mosaic and drumming with Sheltered Reality all summer. I have also recently
been put on the substitute teacher list at a couple schools in the area. I have
been doing everything in my power to stop myself from going crazy. My fellow
international music teacher friends have all left to their respective
countries, other friends have returned to school for the year or their jobs,
and then there is me.
Lately, I have been waiting for paperwork to return from the
US State Department. After that paperwork gets to me I can then gather
everything I need for my visa to get sent out to Californian to the consulate
of Kuwait to get my visa. I have been checking my tracking number three times a
day for the past two weeks looking for the return of papers. Well, tonight I
finally had a hit! My papers are on their way back from D.C! I am almost one
step closer!
I will continue to update you guys on the process, but I
hope there is not a whole lot of updates to make. I hope everything goes
quickly and you can soon start getting updates from Kuwait! Thank you all for
your support over this very trying summer.
