Ok, Ive thought of little but my stupid passport ever since mailing it off Monday.
Ive tried tracking my application on the state departments website, but its not in their system. I think that if you apply at an embassy, you arent going to be able to track it online.
I could track the Chronopost envelope that I sent it in. It arrived at the embassy in Paris yesterday. No one signed for it, even though I thought Id checked the box that said I wanted a signature. (Looking now, I didnt.)
Then a few minutes ago, I had a horrible realization. I dont think I paid for the return postage. Just sending the stupid thing was like 45 Euros. Which certainly sounded like enough for both directions. But, thinking back on it, I dont think the postal clerk stamped the second envelope. Great. I hope the embassy can just add it to my credit card. Otherwise I dont know what happens. Maybe Ill end up taking a train to Paris to pick the stupid thing up. What a nuisance this has truly become!
