Paperwork

I'm just going to say that paperwork sucks! First of all most of the people running our program right now are all new not just one or two here and there but almost everyone handling our paperwork/registration stuff is new. We are definitely learning not only to be patient but to just go with the flow.
So today, we get up and find out our Norwegian language class is moved to tomorrow from 10-1 the problem is the immigration office is only open two days a week from 9:30 to 2:30 which does not leave us a lot of time and we have to report by Friday or we are illegal. We can't get our visas until we report which we thought slowed us up for a whole bunch of other registration stuff at our college but Makara and I did some investigating and were finally able to register at the school and get our id's, the immigration office however was a little more tricky. We went there to clarify what we needed since our files were sent to a different city. Since our paperwork will take a week to get here and we don't have that time we had to buy new photos, 70 kroner, yuck! and make an appointment to go before it even opens so that we can get our visas before friday. It has been one crazy day and now we are getting ready to go to a social gathering that the school has put on so we'll see how that goes.
