Mug shots

I was supposed to go get my picture taken for the OPT application today and in the application package they had suggested a place in Upper Montclair. With all the bussed and trains I'm taking to to go there I had to leave an hour earlier than usual so that I could do this before work started. I get to the place and see these signs "Everything must go" and "Closing down sale". Awesome. I walk in and the guy doesn't even turn around. When he finally does he tells me they no longer take passport pictures. GREAT! Can you recommend me a place that do and take the official US passport pictures and not the old fashion ones...no. So my mug shots were not taken yet but T is taking me to a place that does tonight so it's all good. I have everything except the pictures and a check for $10000000000000 million thousands hundreds billions that they want for the card. I have a meeting with Aditi on Thursday morning and we will go through the application. It's very convenient that the person giving me a ride home 3 times a week is also the person in charge of the immigration things here at school!

Work permit application, check.

My boss is out today because her son is sick so I have been able to take care of some of my personal business. I have a little stats project I should be doing but sooooo do not feel like it so I will leave it. Instead I will work on my resume!

One of the great things about America is the fact that berries, fruits and vegetables are always in season. I just had a snack of blueberries and strawberries that T made for me yesterday. Our local Farmer's market has watermelon and cantaloupes all year round all though they are a little bit more expensive now during the winter time but not anywhere near as expensive as they are in Finland during winter!

Later!
