Being in here...

Sometimes I feel so deadly being in here.
Many things were poped up yesterday. Of course they took unexpected money, time and stress. 
I renewed my driver's license two month ago, at that time the person said that I could get it within 2 weeks.
I didn't get the renewal license card til now, so I went to the DMV again yesterday. The other person said that I cannot get the new one, because I don't have Social Security Number.
I didn't understand this happening because I'm still a student as F-1 visa, even though I have the OPT card.
However, I should have the SSN, if I want to work or look for a job in here. I understand that. but for the driver's license? Before I already had the licese as a student for two years and I'm still a student. Now why do I need the SSN suddenly?? What's the matter that if I don't have the Number, I have had a car and insurance since came here. Even they(DMV) didn't tell me about that two month ago. I only had 4 days before the expired date of driver's license...
Are you guys kidding me??? or killing me?!!

In addition my laptop was broken down yesterday after these things poped up.
So, I couldn't search where is Social Security Administration near my place?
I had to fix my laptop because even I don't have a smart phone to search some info.
Here? I don't have enough friends to get some hands like computer things.
In Korea? Bunch of my friends just give their helps to fix my computer or whatever...
So, I paid for it... ... It's way more than Korea...

After that, I went to two places to find the Socail Security Office.
I went Downtown and waited one and half hours in there to apply the SSN.
Do you think that I did get the Number right after? of course not...
Thus, I went the administration today again, waited a little bit, and finally got it. 
I went to DMV again, waited some lines, and waited again. 
Finally I showed my SSN and got a temporary license's paper. 
You know? It's not the renewal card, it's just a paper only for two months.
And the person who works in DMV said that "hopefully you can get the one within  the expired date of the paper." That was all...
What? my time, money and stress is always within hope... should be in positive way...
Why? because I'm an international student. I don't have any power yet all.
Only I have fully hope, faith and God of my back.

Now I am fine. Great... I can smile with these things after  all, because I have done a lot of difficulties. They made me nervous every single time but I did get them over again.
I think the most important thing is that I am growing up ... ...
