- The first time I went I did not know what it was required. When I arrived, the people told me to have my passport and a original copy of the birth certificate "No, ese es una fotocopia. Lo que necesitamos es una original". Then it rained. I was so wet. So I went to the alcaldia to get one original birth certificate.
- My second shot. Not again. They told me "Esta partida no esta bien. El nombre de su madre esta mal porque aqui dice que se llama {{my mother's last name}} {{my mother's name}} y el nombre deberia que estar adelante de su apellido . Si esta partida estuviera bien, entonces su nombre sería Jessica {{second name}} {{my father's last name}} {{my mother's name}}. y usted dice que no es asi. Usted dice que su nombre es Jessica "{{second name}} {{my father's last name}} {{my mother's last name}}. How do we get it fixed it then?! He told me "Hable con su abogado and blah blah". So we called the lawyer, and the lawyer wrote a thing where it states that my mother is called like this and not like that.
- Okay, the lawyer made a statement where my mother's name was this and not that. But this time I went to the duicentro I wasn't feeling well. I was with a small fever and my head was aching. Damn!
- I went again. They told me "Se hubiera hecho una escritura mejor para usted y no sobre su madre. Hagase una y vaya a la alcaldia para que se la arreglen". Damn!
- We did that. After that we had to wait for a day so they could write in the margin the mistake found in my birth certificate.
- We went to pick up the new birth certificate. Cool. Then went to the duicentro. "No hay sistema. Regresese otro dia". Damn!
- I went again today. I finally got it.
Now I have to take good care of that thing, cause I read in the newspaper that the DUI is made of low quality materials and some people have to renew it. Yes is true, there was sooo many people wanting to renew a very ugly DUI where the plastica was ripping off and the photograph was scratched.
I hate school. Vacations are so cool.
Now I see that I have a lot of names:
- Jessica {{second name}} {{my father's last name}} {{my mother's last name}}. -this is the one I am mostly and want to be known
- Jessica {{second name}} {{my father's last name}} {{my mother's name}}. -this is how the birth certificate identifies me
- Jessica {{second name}} {{my father's last name}} {{my mother's last name with a different chinese accent}}. -this is not widely used. But my IGCSE certificate is written like that. But my IB is not going to, so I can end this horrific situation.

Why can't I only be called pocahontas or hakuna matata?
Oh, and about those stupid summer homeworks: I don't want to do them! School is terrible. I don't want to go back there! I don't even have a word for my EE!

hhahaha callate!
esa m de duicentro merece ser quemada...mira, te cuento mi historia de mi licencia:
1. I went to the certracen with my exam results, my NIT, mi fianza, los DUI de mis padres...y toda la cosas...menos la bendita partida de nacimiento. "venga cuando tenga la partida" I never felt so rejected all my life.
2. I went again, I forgot my blood test. I went to some lab and they tested me A+ but I always believed in my life that I was Orh+. So I didn't believe the lady and went to do another test. Suprise. I was A+. I lived on a lie all my life!
3. I went with all the stuff the next day (3rd attempt) and got my licence. Check my licence photo, I look all bummed out. Kawing commented that it looked like jail photo.
Kill certracen. Unefficient system making all 6 million salvadoran suffer all the stupid process for the f-ing DUI.
