I feel like playing a sad song.
Jun. 11th, 2009 11:06 amYesterday I put down a little bit of money on a BEAUTIFUL new apartment that, for the first time, made me feel like I was moving from somewhere nice to somewhere nicer.
Today I got an e-mail from my Dad saying, come home NOW. Deportation is serious business. I will pay for the ticket, just come home now and don't push it. Before the end of June, if possible. He even told me not to worry about my paid vacation (Plan A at this point was to finish out working June, take my 3 paid weeks through July, and then go home).
So. Argh.
On the other hand, I obviously saw this coming. And I am in a way pretty zen about it. I mean. Getting to see my family and friends (and my DOG!) On the other I am very sad to be leaving Czech Republic, especially under these circumstances. I am angry at my work for basically fucking me over with the visa situation. I am very sad that I will not get my vacation, because I was planning on finally travelling and seeing some more Europe.
That being said, this weekend I am taking two extra days off and going to Belgium and the Netherlands with some people from Dobris. So I will have nearly doubled my number of countries visited in one fell swoop, and have yes, gotten to see some more of Europe.
I am now fighting with ticket sales sites to find one that has cheap tickets this soon, on flights that don't require paper tickets, since there's no time to ship those all the way over here. Funfun.
