I still have to get my Visa and the STCW95. The story of the STCW95 is one worth tellling. The courses are only held in Varna (500 km away from home for all those who have never been in BG) and you can either go to the Naval academy or the Technical university for them. No other option. So, after I received my offer leter (that was on 3rd sept), I called the Naval academy to discover that the courses would be starting on the 7th and that it takes a week. Ok, so far so good. I caught the bus at 5 AM on 7th and arrived in Varna ar 13:30 PM. And I knew the lectures start at 14:00, so literary I had to run to the Academy with all my luggage and stuff. I arrive there, a good friend of my mothers was waiting for me at the gate and guess what! - the courses were rescheduled for 13th! Well... yep... that was nice. Thanks for telling me guys.... but being a Bulgarian - I'm kinda used to it anyways. And what I did was - went to get the Norwegian martime cert ( which you can only do in Varna too) on the next day and then took the bus home. And on Sun evening - once againg took the 6 hr ride to Varna. Jesus - 1500 km in less than a week.
So , I am still in Varna, the stupid courses will be finished tomorrow and I am still trying to convice the stupid secretairy that it is OK for my mothers friend to collect the certificates on Mon and not me personally, so that I can go home tomo and start packing and not waste another 2 days here. Today I woke up at like 7 o'clock to go and give blood and urine to be tested for the last set of tests rquired by Celebrity. This is the 3rd time I give blood to be teested for the last couple of weeks. Once - for the Norwegian cert, once for siphylis, Hepatitis and Aids and now - drugs, full blood count, electrolytes, lipides and God knows what else. I also discovered that the Yellow Fever shot is done is Sofia (what a relief) and costs a whopping 75 leva (40 eur).... 75 leva for a vaccine.... I mean c'mon u guys this is rediculous - vaccins should be covered by the government... I think... oh well, Bulgaria. It's not like I have a choise, so - Mon morning after the inteview, i'll go to get shot :)
I only have 1 week to prepare - I still have to buy stuff like safety shoes and some black trousers and shirts for work (Harding brothers is providing my uniforms, however since I am leaving in such short notice the uniforms might not be ready), black shoes, loads and loads on thights - our "evening" uniform consists of skirt, blouse and jacket and thights are compulsory whenever you are wearing skirt. Yes - "evening uniform" means that I have a "daytime uniform" as well. The daytime uniform is shirt with trousers which have to be replaced by skirt, blouse and jacket at 6PM.
I am thinking of organizing all of my friend for something like a "goodbye party", but still I have to think abt that. I would definately want to go and have my last workout with my fellow crossfitters on Sun, but as I said - that depends on the SS (stupid secretairy).
I have the c1d visa interview at 9:15 on Mon, and once I am finished with that, it would mean that all the docs are ready and I am good to go :)
ENough said, see ya round
