received a 5 page letter in the mail from the ministry of immigration -of course, in dutch-
got bert to translate it for me, and it freaked me out because it basically said i have to leave holland in 28 days if i dont send in my papers, which i must say, THEY forgot to ask for in the first place.
as much as i love being here, i really hate the way the dutch are so amazingly slow and inefficient.
it's been almost 3 months since i've been here and my bank account has yet to be 100% set up.
residence permit is a pain in the ass, don't even talk about getting a social security number in order to work.
can't sign a phone line because i don't have a permit, which translates to more expensive pre-paid plans.
jesus, sometimes i really want to shake the system and just force them to be less bureaucratic and be more practical.
obviously only the foreigners apply for a temporary permit, why would you send the bloody letter in DUTCH?????? i mean, i understand that that is their official language, but it's really freaking retarded because it doesnt make sense at all..whoooaa....damn tu lan can.
on another note, we had THE talk last week and now things are awkward as hell.
i don't know why it always ends up this way,
but its such a joke because this time i don't want anything serious but he does,
and it's weird- it's everything i've always wanted.
oh, i am confused. i don't know what i should say or do! why can't things just remain the way it was...always drama everywhere!
headache central i say
