Today, I am officially an alien

I went down to City Hall to get turn in my Alien Registration form this morning. The procedure is mostly reminiscent of going to the DMV: take a number, fill out a form, pony up cash (optional). The main difference is that there is a separate section for each procedure you can do, and just one cashier. So, I had to get a number from the "Alien Registration" section, and only had to wait for one of those windows to be open. And then, once I was done, I waited for the cashier to call my number.

After that, it was off to meet up with the realtor and view the apartment that I'll be moving into (hopefully) next week. A coworker went to check it out for me last week, and forwarded me pictures of it, so I already knew what I was getting into. It's definitely just as tiny as he made it out to be. I think, if I position things just right, I'll have room to lay down.

In between, I had some time to kill, and so it became Donut Monday:

That is a "caramel/orange" donut: caramel icing and dollops of orange marmalade. Thanks to this donut (and spell-check), I know now how to spell marmalade. The coffee was billed as a "cafe americano," but I have no idea what dictionary they used to come up with that name.
