The Amazing Race

Well today felt like the TV reality show The Amazing Race trying to get my darn car taken care of!!  This morning we got up to start doing the important stuff: student visa, car insurance, student ID’s etc.  The day started out wonderful-not.  I needed to print 2 more documents for my student visa which should have been set up yesterday-NOT.  I could not get the papers to print to save my life for almost an hour.  Finally figured it out and headed to campus. I was able to get my student ID, a free Ross cooler, water delivery set up, more minutes to my phone, drivers licenses and then we ran into trouble…the car insurance!!  I had gotten the paper work from the previous owner which I THOUGHT was complete…not.  The insurance company said I needed to a certain stamp on this piece of paper and in order to get it we needed to head to the police department.  So off we went on this wild goose chase!!  Off to the police department for the stamp once that was done we needed to head to purchase insurance for the car.  We told the car driver where we needed to go and off we went!! Well, the first place we stopped we pulled in and they had moved so off we went to their “new” location.  We arrived there and spent over 30 minutes trying to find the engine size in CC.  Of course the car is at the school because I cannot get the keys until I have insurance and a driver licenses so I can’t check the engine size UGH!!  Well after she called the insurance the girl used LAST year we were able to get the size…finally!! Finally got the insurance and it was $228 US for an entire year.  I had my letter of good driving form my current insurance which I had left at home so I am going back tomorrow to get my rate adjusted.  When we were done with insurance we needed to STILL pay for the transfer of ownership.  Well, that places closes at 3 pm so we have to get it done tomorrow.  We failed the amazing race since we did not get this al done….oh well.

After all the running around, I got back to the dorm room with an hour before dinner.  We went to the restaurant called The Sugar Cane which was REALLY good.  I had my shrimp stuffed crab with mashed potatoes which was AMAZING.  Tomorrow is an early morning so I am off to bed. Good night!!
