Finally approved...

After several failed attempts at trying to apply for my Student Visa, I was finally issued a valid CoE number (Confirmation of Enrolment), and just got notice that my Visa was approved today!

Evidently, my birthdate was printed wrong on the CoE letter... Since Australia reads their dates as day/month/year, even though 3/4/87 looked right to me--as March 4th--it actually read April 3rd. So, ANYWAY, I'm glad it's all been sorted out and approved! :)

Plane Ticket!!

Last week I bought my plane ticket out to Sydney! I leave D.C. on January 11th, travel through London, and then arrive in Australia on the 13th (their time). It's approximately 33 hours of travel...but I am so pumped that it doesn't even matter haha. YAY. Thanks to everyone who has already given me some funds to be able to buy this ticket!
