Job interviews and in-laws really stress me out. Unfortunately, I have this problem where the more nervous I am about something, the more I procrastinate. Last year, this got me into trouble. I was engaged to a Russian man, which was wonderful, but then he wanted me to meet his family in Moscow, which was scary. I was so nervous they would take one look at me and say “nyet,” so of course I put off applying for the visa. The day I finally made it to the consulate was the last possible day I could apply to get the visa in time for the flight my fiance had already bought.
