Holy Cow!
So get this blog land. When I sent in my Visa application (the document not the credit card) I only sent in a photocopy of my passport instead of the actual thing. Well apparently I messed up and the Spanish Consulate phoned me up to let me know that I really needed to get my passport there (Toronto) soon. So, obviously I rushed down to the Canada Post thing in the mall and paid the $15.67 to express it to Toronto. Little did I know that the Consulate had changed addresses. Lovely Canada Post decided to send my passport back to me instead of just forwarding to the new address which just so happens to be on the same street. As soon as my passport is back I rush to the post office to pick it up and send it to the new address. I get my package AND THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN! Canada Post charged me another $15.67 for their mistake of not forwarding my package. I was quite frustrated because I still had to pay to resend my passport. So that is about $47 just for my passport. UGH. Plus, I am still waiting for my Visa!!
PINS. An exchange students main ID. Those things on our jackets that scream "LOOK AT ME!! I'M WEARING COLOURFUL CHAINMAIL!!". Well being the smarty pants that I am, I still haven't gone to get any for my city or Canadian ones. Item number 1 on my to do list. Number 2 is gifts and cards. Things to give to my families and Rotarians in my host city. i have no idea what to get. I want gifts they will truly like and use, not just some gaudy Canada posters or signs.
So my countdown is at 19 days. I hope everyone out there on the interweb and around the world is having a grand time wherever they are. Hasta pronto!
