Everyone is afraid of that day. Questions, documents, angry uncles sitting behind the glass. You feel like a test rabbit... like nobody. And all of this for your own money. But that is still ahead for me. The first encounter with all of this was...

Hello, my name is Elia, I'm a 3rd-year student at NSU, but who would that surprise now +) I'm planning to go abroad this summer to tread my sandals on foreign lands, to meet new, non-Siberian faces, and also to jump into the saddle to the prInce on a white horse!

... as I remember now, on the evening of February 26, 2010, a certain A. Ne******lo (the uncle processing our documents for W&T) sent us the documents for obtaining the visa, and the whole filled-in, ready-to-use little treasure had to be submitted on March 1.

• a little calendar: the 26th is Friday, the 1st - Monday, in the list of required documents, as you all know, not only the application form... which can be filled out if you are a self-organized Woman in about 30 minutes, i.e. 30 min - that's an ideal minimum, anyway let's not get distracted, there is the application, a certificate from the university, the passport, various copies, photos and of course money.. (I had 6500)*
  Many will agree with me that this whole package of documents, about which you previously had no clue, is problematic to assemble over the weekend, and yet it must be handed in on Monday!!!

Only at that moment did I realize how good the exam session is, or rather the skills acquired thanks to it. As they say, one foot here, the other there.

And-so .doc -> flash drive -> shop -> home... the application seems filled out.. I reread... damn - to write in block letters... .doc -> flash drive -> shop -> home... I reread.. mmm.. stroke by stroke. Sooo.. made the copies... Now the certificate.. my stumbling block!

Why? you will ask.. Because obtaining it is quite the quest..

• Quest: To get the certificate you need to go to the dean's office, where they will give you a slip stating that you study there and that you must pay some n-th sum for the certificate, then you need to go to the cashier, pay, bring the receipt to the dean's office and they will give you the CERTIFICATE which you must take to the IEC and then go to classes. Everything would be fine. But... given: Given: I live in the akadem, the cashier is also in the akadem, the dean's office is in the city, IEC is in the akadem, from the akadem to the city is an hour without traffic, oh yes, I also study in the city, and the 1st is, after all, a working day! Solution: speed-walking boots! *

.. I passed the quest. I brought all the documents on time. I went to cram the answers for the consulate... But it wasn't that simple...
