Oh god why

I've gone and done it.

I've stowed away all my furniture, had my big going away party, commited almost-suicide by cleaning chemicals and I GTFO. Spent last night at my sisters place in Oslo, got a total of two-ish hours of sleep, and now I'm hanging out in Amsterdam with a lot of other travelling-type people.

And right now, I really wish I wasn't.

I mean seriously. I don't think I've ever been this nervous about anything ever. I'm all alone, and so far a lot of things have been quite a lot less than ideal. What the hell am I doing? I'm not prepared for this! Not at all. I didn't really think I was, but I was hoping I was a little less right than I am.

The really scary thing is the Japanese immigration people. Because I do not have all my shit as in order as I'd like, and I have this sneaking suspicion that they prefer things to be very neatly planned and very very much in order.

I really feel like this will not be OK. And I know I always say that, but there's this pit of fear in my stomach that I can't seem to get rid of. Please please please let everything work out!

Vis-à-vis a visa ce'est la visa synger på samme gamle VISA

As the first episode of "Han-Silly does things for which she feels woefully inadequate and underqualified" (I believe it will be the first of many), I am now writing emails to embassies*. Specifically, the Japanese embassy in South Korea.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a Norwegian citizen, and I'm going to be attending the University of Tokyo as an exchange student for the 2014 summer term. Before I start there, I will be doing a seven week language course. Unfortunatelly, I have realized that my Certificate of Eligibility will not be ready by the time I leave Norway, so for the language course I will enter Japan under the short-term visa exemption arrangement. I will then have to apply for my College Student visa after my initial arrival. I am wondering if I could do so from your embassy. If so, would I need to plan for more than a one-day trip to Korea? Would you need any documents other than the following: 

• Passport
• One visa application form 
• One photograph 
• Certificate of Eligibility - the original and one copy

Thank you for your help. 

Sincerely,
Hanne Siri Amdahl Heglum

Whoppa Gangnam Style!

*I actually corrected** a very large ammount of embassy emails during a particularly gruesome part of my position as official language nazi for ISFiT, but they did not really concern me personally, and I had absolutely nothing to do with their contents, so it is so totally not the same thing.
