Gah.

Paperwork sucks. Government-type hoops, suck. Waiting in line sucks even more. And I'm British, we know how to queue.

Still, just about done. All goes well we'll be back late tonight. Legally, this time.

I'd like to introduce you all to someone...

Well, re-introduce, really. Meggan officially exists now - Meggan Szardos, 13 years old, adopted daughter of Margali and sister to Stefan, Kurt, Jimaine and Gemile. She's got a German passport and a student visa and everything. Worth all the bloody paperwork. And I owe Bartlet and Cassidy - having the bastards who sold her arrested for drug offences as well as the keeping people against their will and bribing local police did a lot to smooth the way; Margali pointed out they'd had Meggan all her life, and the local plods never did anything to stop them, and that was too embarrassing for them, so they agreed to ignore the whole illegal exit and re-entry thing. We also managed to convince them "Amanda Sefton" was the English alias of my birth name, which solved a lot of hassles since there's no way I'm using that name on any paperwork.

And I know, she doesn't look 13. The docs reckon that she's between 12 and 15, and 13 seemed like a good witchy number. *grins* I think with a combination of decent food and feeling safe, she'll catch up soon enough - part of it's the malnutrition, and part's the shapeshifting.

Bed for for me. Meggan's already out like a light - it was a long trip back. I'd study, but there's bugger all point. I was behind when I left back in April, and I haven't had a lot of chance to catch up since. So I'm basically writing off this year and making up for it next term, with a bit of catch up work over the summer. Not to say I'm not going to try, but Meggan doesn't need me sleep deprived and cranky.
