In a way it's kind of nice to have everything ready ahead of time.

That's not necessarily true. I waited a long, long, long time to be initiated after the paperwork was in and approved-- and I didn't get my badge for about four to six months AFTER being initiated. Burr, Patterson and Auld had a hold on my badge because in ZTA, no badges are released until they have your initiation number. Each GLO is different.
ZTA also doesn't have "sponsors"-- so I was badgeless until my number was finally sent to the jewelry company. But.. it was so worth waiting for!
So happy for you, LouisaMay! Don't worry about not getting a fancy badge.. it's not the badge, but what it stands for! It will become even more beautiful once you're initiated and learn what everything means in ASA!
Congrats!
