Sunshine and ocean air, I'm on my way

As soon as I received my visa, everything has seemed to move along pretty quickly. I found out yesterday that I would for sure be on the 7:30 plane out of Portland and on my way to Malaga, meaning I leave tonight to stay in Portland overnight.
I thought I was prepared for this- honestly, I did! I've been waiting nearly four weeks for this day now (actually, much longer than that; but that's how long I've been ready to go and packed and all that jazz), but once it got here everything's gone by so fast I feel lost in a whirlwind. All of a sudden I have 24 (well, 3 now) hours to say goodbye to everyone I love. I didn't know I liked so many people until it came time to have to leave them for eleven months.
I'm still getting used to the fact that I will not sleep in my bed for close to a year. I'm still getting used to the fact that after I drop him off at work, I won't see my brother for a very long time. I'm still getting used to the fact that I won't get puppy love and tree climbing when I go to the Nopps'. I'm still getting used to the fact that I made several very strong girls cry today when I had to give them one final hug- man, was that hard. Saying goodbye to my best friends in the whole world was not something I'd care to repeat!
This is all part of the adventure; the nervousness, the stress, the sadness. And that makes me okay with all of it.

Visa Standoff

Now not only do I not know when I'm leaving, but there's a possibility it might not be for a very very long time. I just heard that there's a bit of an argument going on between the Spanish consulate and the Spanish government that's been preventing everyone but 2 people from getting their visas. Ahh, to be one of those two people... Unfortunately, I'm not.
I guess I'll know in the next month when I'll be leaving but for now, there's really nothing I can do about it.

Postponed Until Further Notice

So, my original departure date was supposed to be September 5th, which would be in two days. However, considering I'd be getting on the plane in 48 hours and still don't have my Visa, passport, or plane tickets I'm going to say it's safe to assume that I will not be leaving on Monday.
This means that I've told everyone goodbye, packed my bags, and turned my room into the guest room a bit early. What am I supposed to do now? It's not like I know when I'm leaving now so I can't plan out the rest of my Oregon time in accordance...
I guess what's left for me to do is wait. I'm not a particularly patient person, so this may be hard for me. All I really want to do right now is walk, jet lagged and dirty, off a plane onto foreign soil. But, again... I have to wait.
