La Vie En Rose for 2005 March 23 (entry 0)

(1) Wed Mar 23 2005 21:41 PST Whew: I just finished a book summary that is two-thirds the length of my future MA thesis, and one-fifth the length of a NanoWriMo novel. I am not known for my brevity.

Last night I was sent into a panic when I realised I never actually recieved confirmation from UCL and Sussex that they received my application. I sent out desperate emails but managed to convince myself that my applications were lost somewhere over the atlantic, and console myself by saying it didn't matter, as I am 99% sure I won't be attending either of those anyway. Actually, it was a bit of a relief, since I don't think I'll get in to UCL anyway, and I'd like to keep my record good (right now I'm three for three).

So today I get a nice little letter from UCL, dated March 11, saying they received my application on February 16th.

And waited a month to let me know. O-kay.... (Though to be fair, its possible they are so overwhlemed with applications maybe ti takes a month to get to the point in line where they actually open it... or something).

Welcome (back) to the crazy world of college applications.

Last week I had Arcadia college call me, telling me they had not received my information. I went into the Guidance Office and got them all in a tizzy about this, and we called them back. It turned out they *had* the information, they had just forgotten they had gotten it, or something.

Bah.
