How typical of this whole experience so far... I got an email this morning from my recruiter with the subject "urgent." Whats urgent? She wants me to cancel my plane ticket and get a new one for the 19th. The school won't have housing ready for me till that date. They will pay any cancellation fees for me to change my ticket.
I wasn't sure what today's date was, I had just woken up, so I was thinking when is the 19th? Tomorrow or something? Nope, today's the 23rd. So April 19th? I emailed her back and asked. Yes, April 19th. Almost a month from today. I have to wait another month. I cannot believe this bullshit. Actually I guess I can totally believe it. I was thinking at this stage it's set, no changing it now, I got my plane ticket and I'll get my visa Thursday. Apparently for them, its never too late to change things.
So I called priceline.com and canceled my ticket. since I was doing it within 24 hours of making the purchase there were no fees. Which is good cause I don't trust that the school will pay me back for them. I think I forgot to mention that the school had me buy my own plane ticket and they will reimburse me once I arrive. I decided to just go ahead and trust them on that.
I'm sick of waiting. Sure I could use the extra time, but I would rather be totally rushed this week and leave Monday than keep waiting. This really makes me wonder if i am going at all. I mean now the date is set for the 19th, but what will the next problem be?
