Go, USPS! Go!

I just got back from the post office where I sent off my passport and necessary documents for my visa. It makes me nervous to depart with such important things. I thought about going to Washington DC next week to get the visa in person, but the process would take about 3 days and with Thanksgiving on Thursday... After talking to Jody from CCS, she said that turn-around time from the New York Embassy has been about one week. That would be great! I hope it applies to me too. :)
