I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but nothing has gone on. I relished in the receipt of my Further Leave to Remain, and life continues on. Apart from discovering that even over here, I still have to pay US income tax...but...to be honest, it's too much of a hassle to bother with. I'm in a complex situation where I'd have to get an advisor, and doing that isn't worth the £500 some odd just to file a $0 tax return.
On brighter notes, though, tomorrow I'm going to London for the first time. I'm going to an orchestral concert for NieR: Automata. I CAN'T WAIT!!
Although I have to keep mentally reminding myself that with this upcoming visa, I need to find a Life in the UK test and start studying for it. Thing is, I'm not entirely sure when I should start doing that. Maybe about six months before I start applying for the next visa.
That being said, with the silly income tax thing...it's made me prefer the UK over the US even more. I feel like I was destined to have been born here. I definitely prefer some of the economical things though (NHS and mandated holiday leave). But ON the subject of the economy...Brexit finally happened. I'm not going one way or the other, because I don't know much about it. I'm only just concerned that this will screw me over or make things harder for me in regards to the visa.
I really hope not...please let that not be the case. After all, IT'S MY SODDING LAST STAGE BEFORE I CAN STAY HERE!!
