Usless Degrees

My degrees are useless in Croatia until they are officially validated by a special institute. Validation (along with official translations and official photocopies) is expensive and time-consuming so I have been delaying this for the entire past year. Now that I finally started the process, I feel myself going slightly insane. Bureaucracy makes me very nervous and it makes me miss the USA.
I am leaving Zagreb tonight and traveling to Mostar, where I am taking drivers exam. I cannot wait to be on the bus because riding a bus always makes me feel like I am getting somewhere.
