Form-Filling Fun

Quote of the moment:
"Please mark your order of preference for ALL residences." - Cardiff accomodation form. D'oh! Took me ages to work out what came next after my first one. Obviously after about number 10 of 19, I listed them in random order on the basis that it'd never get that far, especially as I'd already picked all the large halls. Still, it was annoying when my first choice is pretty big and I'm pretty certain I'll get it. Sigh... Unfortunately I couldn't bear the paranoid thoughts of 'What if you don't...?' so I had to spend 2 hours reading the booklet and marking them on everything important. Yes, I'm very sad. Anyway, here is my first choice: Senghennydd (Senn-Ghen-Ith: Ghen like in Ghengis) Court. Hurrah!

All that time I was supposed to be filling in my visa application forms. The stupid things are acrobat files, and thus can't be saved, only printed. Since I had no printer connected to this pc, I needed to connect it to the house one, which required restarting the computer after installing the drivers. That meant copying all my carefully inserted answers, one by one, into a .txt file and saving it to at least not have to type it all out again. I still have to go back and enter it all, so that I can print it out and take it to the embassy on tuesday. I have an appointment at 10.30 - the advice from Camp America is to take a good book.

On the plus side, I did manage to take my medical form to the Felsted Surgery to be filled in by Dr Slack. My whole day was full of exciting forms.
