Arrival of the welcome letter

Today my letter arrived, along with a tracking number so I can follow the progress of my application. Cue compulsive checking about a million times a day to see if my status has changed.

I've applied for German with French, though my French is rustier than my old bike, so I've been swotting up with a teach yourself course. It's going really well, I've done a month's worth of lessons in about 3 days.  I predict it will get a lot harder once I'm no longer relearning though.
