Accepted.

I received the following e-mail today:

Dear Greg Hodges,



I hope all is well. This email is to let you know that your student visa
has been approved and issued by the Spanish Consulate of Chicago.

Your visa is a sticker placed on one of the blank pages of your
passport. Included with your passport/visa will be the original version
of your visa application. You should bring these documents to Spain in
case you lose your passport, as it will make replacing your visa easier.

Best,

Megan

So it's official. I'm heading to Spain.
