Important Meeting & Money Troubles

I went and saw Shrek Forever After this afternoon and it was very good. I feel quite dork-tastic going to movies like this by myself, but I'm really glad I did. There wasn't enough Gingerbread Man in it for me, but Rumpelstiltskin's character made up for it. Hilarious. They're so witty and I just wonder what it's like being in the idea room when they're coming up with this stuff. So funny.

In other news, today at work I very briefly met the University of Cambridge's Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Education. I don't remember his name and I don't really know what he does, but I could tell I was meeting someone important and I was nervous. He asked me the simplest of questions--"How many international disabled students are there?"--and I had to look it up! What an idiot! Why don't I know that answer?! Luckily, the information was within close reach and I found it quickly... but really, Sara?! Wow. Way to look incompetent in front of your supervisor and some university person who's really important. I'm disappointed with myself. 

I'm having "bank trouble" and it is SO ANNOYING. My PIN number won't work in the ATMs here (I may or may not have forgotten what it is... I'm currently waiting for something in the mail at home so that I can find out what it is/reset it), I'm unable to withdraw cash in a bank for a fee (they just don't allow it), and I can't use the Bureau de Change (they aren't authorized to do such transactions). I would be fine without withdrawing money until Pam gets here with the extra cash for me for the trip--the only thing is that I need to pay rent to Carrie and Ian before I leave. I can't transfer funds to an international account using online banking and I can't do a wire transfer over the phone (I have to be in person at the bank... which is obviously not happening). In addition to all of that, the debit card I have with me will no longer work past July 14 because PNC (formerly National City) has issued me a new one that was sitting in my pile of mail at home. My dad had to send it to me as soon as he could so that it will arrive while I still have an address here in England. Overall, a complete mess. I really hope this all gets sorted very soon. The thing I'm obviously most worried about is getting Carrie and Ian their money because I hate owing others money and I feel like this whole thing is making me look irresponsible even though none of it is my fault. Ugh!
