So, I met with Marina at 340 to fix the paperwork situation. Well, to try to fix the paperwork situation. We hid outside room #1 as she negotiated our spravdas, but the woman in room #2 had already left by the time we finished in room #1. Which means I get to leave class early Monday to get this handled.
Marina also gave me the dormitory registration for Grisha and I. At first she told me to drop mine off, and give Grisha his to drop off. I asked if I could drop them off together, and she said yes. Big mistake. I stopped by my dejournaya's on my way home. She wasn't there, but a little old man was. He asked me some questions about the paperwork that I was completely unable to answer. I tried to call Marina, or to leave, but he wouldn't let me... he kept yelling and telling me to sit. He finally called the dejournaya. This kind old woman came in and looked at the papers for a few minutes... in her defense, she was blind as a bat. I feel horrible, but I had to stifle a giggle as she held these papers literally an inch from her eyes. I thought people only did that in movies, but no. She took my passes and let me leave without yelling at me further.
And so the visa renewal project becomes a 2-week issue. Yay.
