Fast forward to this morning. After dressing up, I came outside and took a bolt ride to diplomatic drive. I got there around 6:45am. The hustlers at the gate chop me small today, because I forgot to print out my late arrival authorization letter given to me by my Graduate Coordinator, so I printed just a page #3,000. ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) I also needed to keep my phone as phone's ain't allowed inside the embassy, I was also charged #1,500. Then, we proceeded to the que for documentation and all.
