Getting a State ID

The process of getting a State ID. Oh my bejesus.... Really? Is it that complicated? Do people not know what their job is? I started off going to the International Students Service office because they told me I need to bring my information to them and they would get one for me through the University. I thought, that's great! I can get an ID at school, no problem. But well, it's not what I thought. I get there with my information, the lady told me it will be ready after two in the afternoon the same day. I thought that was really quick, but I guess they know what they're doing. So I go back after two and they give me a piece of paper. What's this? Well, I need to take this paper to the Motor Vehicle and Drivers Licence office down the street. Do I need anything else? Nope, just the paper. 

I get to the office. May I just mention that it's bloody cold outside? Ok, so I get there and hand the paper to the lady and tell her I am from the university and would like to apply for a State ID. I'm not a US citizen so I have this paper etc etc. She looks at me like I'm stupid. Well, she says, you need your passport, and your I-20 etc. I have that so no problem, I brought it along too. Then, she says, you need a proof of address... well i don't get any bills so how am I supposed to get that? She says, just do it somehow. I tell her I have a box, not a home address mailbox. I don't pay bills like that. Well, she says, then we can try it without but if you don't get the card then it didn't work. So that means I would have to pay the fee and all and it might not work? I don't think so. Also, I need a social security number or a letter from them. Uhh... what? 

Can I walk there? I ask her.. she tells me the address... I tell her I'm not from here I don't know where that is. OK, she says, well it's just off this and drive there. I tell her I'm not from here. How do I possibly get there? What is wrong with her? Has she never talked to someone from another country? So now I have to get to that place somehow and head back to the MVDL afterwards, as quick as possible too... I can't believe the school didn't tell me about all these things. They told me all I need is the paper and my passport. Is it the first time they did this? Do they understand what their job is? Stupid people got my hopes up, then ruined them, got them up again and now they're on the floor stomped on and trampled several times. I hate them.
