Pardon my french but today was some fuckery

Hey yall,
Woke up this morning at 4:00am to go to the passport place to organize for the trip so I can get into different countries for the tournament. Reached the passport place at 5:00am, it doesn't open till 7:00am. The security guards  would not let us in, so we stood outside for two hours and 10 minutes before seven it started to drizzle. We are first in line and we talk to the clerk and he goes through our paper work and come to find out we all are missing information and our applications were filled out incorrectly so even though we were the first people there, we ended up being number 161-164 and the first number was 143. Since none of us had all the info we needed we had to split up. There was four of us, one got to go back home because all she needed was something emailed. The other three of us had to go the head basketball office and make a bunch of calls to get the missing information. There we met the Soca Warriors the national soccer team of trinidad and kicked the soccer ball around with them. That was cool. It is now 12:30pm and we still have not eaten and so we order KFC which happens to be quite tasty in trinidad, a bit spicy but I would eat anything at this point. So after we demolished our food, we stayed for another hour making calls and then my roomie and I had to travel to another passort place to get our parents birth certificates. Then we drove to the Gatorade headquarters and that was another 30 minute ride on the next side of the island. The guy we went to meet couldn't even meet us and they had to reschedule a meeting for Wednesday. Then we had to go pick up information for cocoa back in town, into 4:00pm traffic, and we got her information. Then we finally made it back to the hotel. Four hours of sleep, two more misquito bites, and no passport later I am here writing about my "day off" from training. Even though it was a shitty day, I have to thank God that I got to see another one. Until next time live, love, laugh.
