Week Ending 8/28/2010:
I got my classes arranged and ordered the required textbooks. I went to two separate birthday lunches for my stepchildren.
Week Ending 9/4/2010:
I went to Russian embassy in San Francisco to complete paperwork for passport. My husband went with me to the embassy for moral support.
The passport window opens at 2 PM daily. You keep your place inside by remembering the person who you lined up behind in the outside of the embassy grounds. He says it probably wouldn’t work with Americans, but saw no disputes over the order. It takes about a year to get the passport.
