After another long emotional battle of "what am I going to do next," I finally heard back from someone at the music school. He told me to come by and talk to the secretary about getting permission to sit in on some classes.
I went there today, and guess what? I now hold in my hand a piece of paper that gives me permission to take pretty much what I want at the music school, provided the professors sign off on it (but the secretary said they always will). I have to pay 50 euros, but I get my own student ID and everything! They also gave me the school handbook with the class registry, teacher directory, and how to do everything. If only the university had their stuff together like this.
Next I went to the International Residence Office to attempt to get my student visa, Take 2. They sent me away last time because it was too soon after I registered as a resident, and my face was too small in my passport pictures. I got new passport pictures, and painstakingly went through all my paperwork for the second time to make sure I had everything right. Didn't get it again. This is why:
-Instead of the financial guarantee letter from Rotary that tells them I have a scholarship and will be financially secure, they need the actual printout of my bank account statement showing that there is money inside.
-Instead of my admissions letter for the university, I need my enrollment certificate from the university (even though the paperwork said the admissions letter was fine).
-Instead of a form from the insurance company that says I registered for the plan, I need a piece of paper showing that I am covered - not just registered.
Oy vey. I bet they secretly laugh about all the people they send away for such ridiculous reasons.
