You know you want to keep me, England.

So yesterday I sent my visa application to the Home Office (FINALLY OMG), and today I confirmed that they received it via the Royal Mail website. My immigration adviser told me that the turnaround time on these things is 6-10 weeks, but it's closer to 6 weeks at this time of year (presumably because most people want to keep their passports so they can go home for the holidays - excellent, this benefits me.) Now I just have to sit here for the next 6 weeks and worry until all my hair falls out. Don't make me go back to the States! I don't want to! Their chocolate is terrible and all their DVDs cost too much!

"I suppose this is why I'm an archaeologist and not a prostitute."

NEVER SAY THIS TO YOUR MOTHER.

Even if 1.) she started it and; 2.) her version of the pre-college "talk" was "I'm only paying for one abortion, so be careful."
