So, went back to the courthouse this morning. Turns out it's a good thing that I did wait and visit the court assistance office, because there were a few minor mistakes that I needed to correct (the two page form that I had printed front & back HAD to be on two seperate pages, and there was one of the forms that HAD to be typed), plus the lady there was a notary so I was able to get the petition notarized right there. Then it was off to home to scan the documents so I could print off all the copies I needed (yay for using a scanner & printer as my photocopier. =P) Then back to the courthouse to file the petition, pay my fee, and get my court date.
June 1st, 1:30pm.
OMG that's close! That's before I go to THC, even!
After that I had to go to the paper to get the publication request in, only they do the publication requests via e-mail so that was a wasted trip, so it was back home to scan *that* document so I could e-mail it to them. Which is now done. It has to be published for four consecutive weeks before my hearing, so hopefully that'll work out right. I'm sure they wouldn't have assigned that hearing date if it wouldn't, though, so I'm probably alright.
Just barely over a month from now, if all goes to plan...I will officially be Rachel. And Rachel can have her own ID, and her own credit cards, and her own everything, and I can stop getting outed every time I have to break out something with my name on it. You know, as long as they don't look at the stupid little 'M' on the driver's license...bleh.
