So, that whole visa business? Yes, not done yet :) My start date has officially been moved again to the 23rd of July. The reasoning behind this is that Abu Dhabi has only one orientation a month. The one for June I was originally planning on starts on the 20th, as this one is out of the question at this point, we are pushing back to the next which starts July 25th.
I am actually quite not-upset about this for two(ish) reasons. The first is that I really just wanted to know when I was leaving. I like dates and definitions. The second is that I have not gotten to celebrate July 4th for two years as I have been oil-rigging it up, and I am pretty darn sure Malaysians don't think the 4th is special at all. Third (told you it was an "ish" situation!) I still have so many things and people I want to see! There are now incredibly more hanging out opportunities with family, boyfriend, and friends! Finally, if I start the 25th, I get to be in Abu Dhabi with my friend Karen!!!!!! We were originally suppose to work in Australia together before she got moved to Qatar and I was moved to Malaysia.
A good change? Yes. I think so. :)
