Horrible Day

So my in processing was and absolute killer. It was briefing after briefing with information that need to know to transfer life in this country. Holy crap is it expensive. They charge for everything here. From downloads to local phone calls that can cost up to ~10 us dollars per minute. You even have to pay for a television license to watch tv or get a phone. That license cost about 200 us dollars. Then I did my travel voucher. Let me tell you what that is the funnest thing I have ever done before in my life. I was so stressed. I had all of my paperwork stacked neatly in one location then they started taking those papers from me and giving me others at the same time. But I got through it and now all I can hope for is that they give me all of the money that I paid out and maybe get the chance to pocket a little for them sending me to a god awful expensive place. After rushing through my travel voucher and making sure everything was correct I then had to run back to our room because we were suppose to see a house. I got back called the person that was going to give us a ride to the house, making sure that he could still do it. I then called the person who is currently in the house to make sure he would be there. Of course he couldn't because he had outprocessing to do all of the sudden. Who has outprocessing to do at 6pm. I then asked him if I can see it in the morning before I go to more briefings and he said he would be busy then too. It wouldn't really bother me too much if he had a good excuse and I didn't have to tell the housing office whether or not i wanted the house at 10 am tomorrow. So if I can't get housing to push the day back again I have to accept a house that I haven't been in and don't know if all of my stuff will fit in it. On top of all the other stuff that is going on I have to take a driver's training course and test tomorrow which I have yet to study for and must pass to drive in the UK. This has just been a horrible day.
