Lack of Updates

My only excuse is I have been busy all last week (working from 10am to 1am everyday!) and then when that was all over, I have been exhausted all this week. In fact, I took 2 days off this week because I really needed. Actually, I only really took one day off...the 2nd day I needed off because I needed to drive to Vancouver to renew my new passport. Which brings me to my second post...

The Quest for a New Passport!

Tuesday, April 1

04:00--wake up and get ready to drive to Vancouver
05:00--start drive to Vancouver
07:30--arrive in Downtown Vancouver
07:45--arrive in Passport office. Already a line up to get in. Started to wait in line.
08:30--after waiting in line and then just waiting, my turn to talk to actually person who will process my forms. Tells me I need to get some of my forms notarized first.
09:00--start looking for Notary Public. Call friend up.
10:00--walked towards Chinatown (boy its changed) and get everything notarized.
10:30--back at Passport office. Waiting.
10:45--everything is in order. Need to wait to see if all my references are reachable and legit.
11:30--EVERYTHING APPROVED! Passport ready for pick up.
12:00--Got new passport. Boy...that was fast!

The rest of the day I spent just hangin in Downtown Vancouver and Richmond. By mid afternoon, I was just EXHAUSTED and thought of going home. And then I got 2 calls from two really old friends that I haven't seen since I left Vancouver. So, that evening, I got to hang out with old Digipen classmate Andrew Laing and family and I got to hang out with Danny's cousin Yvonne. I didn't leave Vancouver til 11pm and didn't get home til 1:30am. It was a long day.

PS: I would like to thank my friend Monica for giving me every secret information about the Canadian Passport offices and my friend Christine for hooking me up with a Notary Public in Vancity! You girls rock!
