Holding my Breath***2 weeks, 5 days

It is two weeks and five days until I am scheduled to depart to Glasgow (via Syracuse, via Boston, via Iceland, via Manchester!). My future plans, however, are in the hands of the Visa application folks. They have my passport, my former transcripts, my flight information, my bank account information, not to mention forms, photos, finger-prints and other ephemera. Everyone say your prayers that I get this visa soon!
