FUCK MONEY
Not that I'm paying for any of this, but still, things that are unnecessarily expensive can SUCK IT! Luckily I could buy my bus tickets to Burlington 7 days in advance and get the discount so it's 90 instead of 150. But 90 dollars is too much to sit on a shitty (and unfortunately ONLY bus that will put me in the right direction) bus for over 7, yes 7, hours to get to Burlington and then another 7 to get back. Um, HELLO, it only takes 4 in a car, speed it up folks!
I'm done filling out my visa forms, and I'm proud of myself for only getting confused and having to call the office once to ask a question. Luckily for me I'm going to a country that speaks English so I didn't have to translate all the forms. And the cost? Normal visas that my friends are getting cost between 120-200 dollars. Mine? OF COURSE FUCKING NOT. Mine is fucking 430 AUD which roughly translates into 330 dollars for a fucking visa. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL VISA. Well, it is. But it's an *electronic* visa. So it's *electronically* attached to my passport number. So I'm not even going to get a cute little Australian visa paper to put in a scrapbook years down the road. NO. I'm paying 330 dollars for technology, that, to me, is basically NOTHING. Kellie said they didn't ONCE look at her visa when she was in Spain and she could have easily studied there without one. What does that say to me. I'M MOST LIKELY PAYING FOR NOTHING.
Josh and I are going to LL Beans to get our bags monogrammed for our trips. Mine is bright pink (hideous), but I'll be able to see it right away in the sea of red, black and navy suitcases.
