Goodbye, Life Plan

[freedomreins]

So the meeting was worthwhile, only because it shot holes all through my five year plan and now I have some serious thinking to do. I have to decide if staying is what I want, if I want to pay another ridiculous amount of money for a masters from an international institution

Moving's not the problem, lol, I'm already here. It's legally staying that's causing me trouble because I don't just want to have to keep applying for visas and work permits etc... they cost a lot of money and require so much paperwork. My student visa application was gigantic. I want to have the freedom to jump back and forth between my two homes but even though I've sunk so much money into the English school system, they don't seem to want to let me do that!

I can't apply for dual citizenship until I've had some kind of extended leave thing which entitles me to stay in the UK for 10 years. Ten years! Which is all fine and good but the citizenship application requires you to only have left the country a certain number of days in those years, and I don't like having that kind of restraint on my ability to go home.

Or I could just marry an Englishman. I can apply for dual citizenship after I've been married for two years. This is seriously unlikely.

I do, of course I do - I feel more at home here than I do actually at home but... yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do yet :(

Thanks :) I didn't realize I was relying so heavily on something I hadn't even had confirmed, but I had based a lot more of my future around that tiny piece of information than I thought I had. *sigh*
