Applying for a Student Visa

Jen is currently trying to navigate the treacherous waters of applying for a student visa. Apparently this entails fingerprinting, the FBI, her permanent record dating back to kindergarten, a full employment history, dental records, chest x-rays, rabies vaccination records, an essay (1000 words or less) titled "Why I Love New Zealand", and notarized affidavits from our cats regarding her fitness of character.*

Yay bureaucracy!

Jen's mood: Enraged, possibly homicidal.

* - only some of these are jokes, can you figure out which ones?
