Sorry I'm not sure if I can ask two questions one after the other (I already posted another one barely half an hour ago), so please let me know if I should take this down.

I had originally wanted to travel to Germany, and have already booked tickets to and from Frankfurt. But the appointment date I got for the German consulate is 13 days before I fly. Is this cutting it too close?

Because of this I looked for an appointment with another Schengen country's consulate, and got one for Belgium, that's about a month earlier. But with this I'd have to change my travel itinerary, and I'm not sure I would want to spend close to three weeks in Belgium.

What should I do? Am I being too paranoid about the German Schengen VISA appointment? Or should I go ahead with the Belgium one and just suck it up and make this trip all about Belgium?

    Belgium has enough to keep you busy, if you are willing to spend effort in finding what you like.

According to the German Missions in the United States website:

How long will I have to wait for my visa?

The processing time for visa applications (short stay) takes up to 15 days. If long-term residence permits or visa for employment in Germany are applied for, the processing time will be up to several months.

Therefore 13 days is cutting it close and I wouldn't risk it.
