It finally arrived. That wasn’t too bad, although it took several phone calls and quite a bit of begging. Now the Visa process begins. This is handled by the school, so I don’t know any of the details other than it takes about 10 weeks.
I’m still cutting it close.
So there’s one worry out of the way. Whew!
But now there’s a whole NEW worry! The friend who is going with me has a very low GPA. Lower than I even knew was possible. Dr. M. says there is a good chance that the people in Japan may reject him. This kinda stinks because no one ever mentioned a GPA requirement before, or even the idea that rejection was even possible. We both thought it was a done deal. Probably no one mentioned it to me because mine is very high.
I’ll ALMOST certainly go without him if necessary, but life would be a LOT easier on me if he could go too. This whole thing stinks for him because it may be several weeks before he even knows one way or the other.
