inside Rhodes

Midterm exams are finally winding down and I can finally sleep for more than 4 hours a night. My fall break will officially begin at 12:50pm tomorrow afternoon and my bed will be calling for me. However, this fall break will be a little different than what I had planned (yah know the usual sleeping til 1 pm, eating bad foods, and seeing old friends from home). Nope, that I won’t be doing. Instead i’ll be in Houston, TX to get a Visa as I prepare to study abroad. My consulate jurisdiction is actually New Orleans but they are deciding to close on Oct 31 and switched me to Houston. Houston requires me to actually come in person to turn in all the forms and such. Speaking with the Houston consulate has been quite interesting..no one speaks English and they are very impatient..I wonder what this will be like once I’m actually there.
