Poland: Currently, I’m preparing a possible travel with Chris and a person we met from the Poland class. As it stands right now, we’re trying to journey to probably Germany to catch a Soccer match in the Bundesliga Football League. However, we’re still waiting for our teachers to appear to our meetings, so we can plan a trip. Instead, this last Monday, we watched more of the video a former student made while in Poland. All of it has been amplifying our ardor to leave this ecclectic country and enter into another realm of life. It was really refreshing to share this common vision while talking to other Poland classmates during our meeting. Everyone has been getting to know each other better, including myself, and I think it will really add to the trip once we all start to mesh more. I still need to get my memoir from the library, pay a deposit for the trip, and get books for the courses. Other than that, I’m pretty much set for this trip on the college side.

China: I sent in my passport to get stamped by the consulate. Upon doing so, I should receive a Visa. Now I’m not sure if it actually is a stamp like most people have told me, or if it is a digitized print onto my Visa pages. I also paid an enormous fee to college as a down payment for my journey, so now it’s happening. All that is left on this side is to get vaccinated for typhoid and make sure I get my physical examination before I leave. This would also include getting my teeth checked out to make sure that isn’t a problem either.

It’s all coming together.

Picture of what my visa should probably look like (however, it could be a stamp instead due to me only being there only about a month):

(obviously my name will be there instead of this guy’s)
