<p>It is, yeah. There’s so many different fees and forms and other complications.</p>
<p>i just landed a job interview for tomorrow.
for a job in a … SUPERMARKET!!!
my career is going GREAT… data input, supermarket…what’s next? Burger King???</p>
<p>haha i hope i get the job coz the one that i have now is over after this week…and i need monnnneeeeyyyyyyy for philadelphia shopping 
lol sorry, i drank wayyyyyy to much coffee which is why i press the keys for a tad too long sometimes now.
i call my embassy today to schedule an interview… i hope they have some empty slots. poly, what did they ask you for? the website says i should have my passport at hand, but should i also have the I20 (do they need any numbers from there or something)?</p>
<p>LOL Rister, good luck with that!</p>
<p>You need the I-20 for the SEVIS number.</p>
<p>is the SEVIS number the one that is written below (or above?) this barcode. like in the upper right corner? i think it’s called Student Number on the I-20
haha sorry for the stupid questions but i don’t have my I-20 here…and i need to call from work because when i’m at home the embassy will be closed already. i wrote down this number in the upper right corner though, so if this is the SEVIS number i’m lucky</p>
<p>Its just above the barcode. Yes, upper right hand corner.</p>
<p>yessss !!! <3 thanks haha
trying to get webmessenger running by the way… it’s just a question of time until i’ll be logged on</p>
<p>But hey I don’t know, maybe YOU don’t need the I-20 when booking a date.</p>
<p>I couldn’t call and book, I had to fill out a gazillion forms online.</p>
<p>ah ok… i’ll just call then. on the website they only say passport number so i think i don’t need the SEVIS number. but a good thing that i have it with me anyway.</p>
<p>finished gatsby?</p>
<p>Yep, finished it! It was good, but as I said, I still don’t get the hype.</p>
<p>I’m now reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies. Its awesome.</p>
<p>never heard of it.</p>
<p>i ordered freakonomics by the way :)</p>
<p>Awesome!</p>
<p>Maybe you should read that book, you’re now an unofficial Indian anyway ;)</p>
<p>haha yeah apparently. so what is it about? (and don’t just gimme the wikipedia link, only nazis do that. 
hi tetris)</p>
<p>oh and what happened to Catcher in the Rye?? did i turn you off with my incoherent synopsis? :)</p>
<p>Lol…it’s a collection of short stories, some set in India, some in Boston.</p>
<p>And Catcher in the Rye is still on my list! I’ll get it the next time I go to the library :)</p>
<p>nice, i’ll see if they have it in the library here. but you knkow that i already have 3 books that I have to read over the summer, so i can’t promise anything ;)</p>
<p>Hehe sorry about that Rister, I was in a lazy mood at that time :D</p>
<p>hehe no worries :D</p>
<p>How’s your reading coming along, Rister?</p>
