getting ready... frustration!

I finally applied for my passport today! this is good, and bad. It is bad, possibly really bad, that it has been left so late. And partly... probnably mostly, it is my fault. This means that I won't have it in had until July 6th. I *need* it to apply for my Visa. I can't get in to the country without my Visa.... Okay, that's probably a lie, I could probably get in, but it would be a big hassle and involve lying at the border :p That isn't something I especially want to do.

I've been meaning to apply for my passport for months, but to be honest, I haven't been able to afford it. Or get the required documentation, picturews, etc together all in one place. But I did it today, and even then, because I lost/had my passport stolen last year in Montreal, and didn't realize until I'd been home for a while that my passport was in the bag, I had to get extra things done and etc etc etc...

So. This means I will havea little over a month to get my Visa... and I need an *appointment* to get it. I have to go to either a border post or a consulate, I'm not sure which, to do this. And when am I gong to be able to manage that? I'm not sure if I want to cry or kick someone. All I need in the passport *number*, to get these things, but of course, I don't have it.

In other news, I am looking in to moving companies right now to get my stuff moved, because otherwise I don't know how I am even going to get down there...

And I haven't sent in my housing applictaion form yet. I hope they aren't all booked, but I am going to send them an e-mail at least saying please please please give me a spot.

I hate this kind of thing. Why can't I just stay in ne place for more than a year :p
