24 hours.

Well. It's about 24 hours until I am "suppose" to leave for South Africa to start my semester abroad. Two problems have arisen that could prevent me from flying across the ocean to my destination. First, the fact that my visa/study permit still has yet to land in my hands. I called yesterday and I was told that they had no idea where it was, that they never received it. After I got off the phone I cried for about an hour until I got a call back saying that they had found it and it was marked with the wrong departure date, therefore they weren't going to process it probably for another week. So the lady from the consulate shipped it out overnight and I was told I would get it today (Tuesday) at 1030am. It is now 245 pm and I still do not have my visa. Apparently it is enroute, but on the internet my tracking number says it is in Memphis Tenn...... The second reason would be the snow storm that is on its way. They are calling it the snow storm of the century and flights have already been cancelled and delayed for today and I am also suspecting they will be delayed for tomorrow.
On a better note, I got my cell phone for South Africa in the mail and I also have my foreign currancy.
With all these problems I honestly can't even say what I think is going to happen. There are so many what ifs, but basically I have no idea what I will do if I don't go to South Africa this semester. I am praying that I get my visa in the mail tonight because otherwise I will be stressed out beyond anything I have ever experienced and I will probably cry all day tomorrow until it is in my hands or I miss my flight. Why did this have to happen to me?!
