A lot of stuff is happening in July. I just made a reservation to visit Immigration for the final thing I need to get renewed: my F4 visa. So I made the reservation for July 15 (a Tuesday) even though I saw an open slot this coming Monday. I also just spent a million years using Adobe's "fill and sign" function to fill out the PDF version of visa-renewal form; it's been checked and postdated to July 15, so that's ready to go. I don't think I need to bring along a photo—that's only for reissuing visas, not merely extending them—but I might get a photo, anyway, because there's no more room on my current visa to print out a validity period. That means I'll need a new card which, practically speaking, is a lot like reissuing a visa. (Better safe than sorry.)
2025 has been the year of getting shit renewed and contracts signed. I renewed my passport, renewed my driver's license (with REAL ID and a lease agreement!), obtained a new PNC Bank card (after a sit-down with a bank staffer), and processed my updated passport info with Korean Immigration. Now, finally, I'll be renewing my F4 visa for the second time in a year—this time for a period of three years. So I can breathe a sigh of relief come mid-July.
In the meantime, my July 11 doctor's appointment got moved to July 9 because of some sort of scheduling problem, so I've got that to look forward to as well. It's the cardiac doc, and I've got a lot to ask him about what can be done re: recurring angina. If I have a second infarction or stroke, I'm pretty sure I'll be finished. Miracles like last time don't happen twice in a row.
On top of the rigamarole of this final visa renewal and the existential threat of another heart attack or stroke, there's my self-education plus my million personal projects to worry about. I'll have more to show off on that front soon. I recently finished watching a very useful Adobe Illustrator tutorial, and I'm impatient to practice the skills that were taught.
