German bureaucracy is killing me. It took me forever to open up a bank account. Word to the wise: if you have to open up a German bank account, don't go with Postbank. You'll keep going back to check when your account is open, but as soon as you go back, they'll ask you for yet another document. Sparkasse is so much quicker and easier. I wish I had tried them when I first got here, instead of waiting a week. =P
And today I have to go to the office where they handle foreign residents who will be living in Germany temporarily. Gotta go register there to get a residency permit. Ugh, I hate having to go to all these offices, talk with all these people, fill out all these forms. Thank God I have a "study buddy" who's helping me with this stuff. I don't know how I'd manage without her. But even with her help, I'm so sick of this bureaucracy. Is any other country this crazy about paperwork?
On a happier note, the weather seems to be getting better. That, or I'm getting used to it. But it's not so bitter anymore. And from what I heard, we're supposed to have good weather by Friday or this weekend.
