It's been nearly four weeks of waiting but I've done it and now my visa has finally arrived. For those of you who aren't familiar with the purpose of a student visa, the importance of having it in my position is that it allows me to board that plane to Spain (I heart rhyming). Though I don't know when I'm leaving still, it's a relief to know that it will most likely be within the next week or so- whenever they can stick me on an airplane to Madrid.
Unless you've had your dream snapped suddenly for a foreign, inexplicable reason and left hanging for almost a month without any estimate of when it's expected to be repaired and set back on track, I don't think you can understand what this really means to me. It's more than just having my passport back (though that is a nice, added bonus)- it represents progress and tells me that maybe, just maybe, I'm allowed to have what I've worked for.
