One: Polish Visa

I'm typing this on my phone en route to Boston. Currently, I'm in Providence. Hi, Providence!

And hello, September. I can't believe you got here so fast. This is the month of my big move. Only twelve days until I fly to Europe, with the possibility of not returning for two years.

I am nervous but excited and almost ready to take on this big adventure. Instead of counting down the days, I thought I'd be more optimistic and count up.

So here's one: one visa to Poland. I finally picked it up yesterday, meaning the last big barrier between me and my trip has been surmounted. Visa: check! Plane ticket: check! Apartment: check!

Jan Karski, sitting on his bench outside the Polish Consulate,* seemed as excited as I was.

* on this trip, I became Foursquare mayor of the Consulate. Impressive, I know.

Greetings!

I just wanted to say hi and good luck to you on your Fulbright grant period. I had applied to Poland for a 2010-2011 Fulbright and ended up being sent elsewhere, and because life has an interesting way of working out, I now find myself moving to Warsaw in a few short weeks. Perhaps our paths will cross?

Cheers!

@Tracy: I'm so glad you stopped by! What a small world it really is. Looking forward to reading your blog & comparing notes on Warsaw! Good luck with your move :)
