So Incredibly Busy

Since submitting Oui’s application for permanent residency things have become increasingly busy in my little world and it’s moments like these in which I truly appreciate the wonderful life I’ve had for the last few years. That’s all in the past now because our departure is approaching quickly and so many things need to be done before I go.

We’re very anxious about the application, despite submitting it with every document imagineable (including those regarding my mums cancer). The uncertainty of it all is surprisingly stressful, especially now that I’ve gotten news that my mum potentially has mere weeks to live.

We’ve been on the phone to the embassy, something I’m sure they’re quite sick of by now, and at first we were worried that they would drag our application out like usual despite assurances to the contrary, but there was a flurry of activity yesterday giving me hope that everything could be resolved within a week or two.

In gaming news, our connection is playing up again so we chose this moment to cancel our WoW subscriptions (don’t worry, it’s only temporary) which should expire before the month is done. I could have called the ISP and tried to get it fixed, but we were going to leave so it’s not worth the time.

I cancelled my subscription to LotRO at the same time and I have to confess that I’ve been having a great time playing, of all things, a tank! I’ve tried every class in the game by now, most not surviving very long because I find them too dull/difficult, and honestly never considered to play the tank class until now  because I’ve traditionally shied away from tanking.

Assassin’s Creed 2 is fantastic and while I loathe the DRM, I’m living with it to be able to enjoy such an incredible and immersive experience. I’ve never been to Italy but after playing this I feel I virtually have, such is the level of detail. Looking back at the original it’s amazing the leap they made to this one however, do Italians really swear that much?
