For the love of morris... are you trying to destroy me?

That's a line from the movie The Point. I love that movie.

Anyway.

I have been through such craziness this past week. I have FINALLY gotten everything in to the University of Toronto and now... I... wait.

I would have gotten everything in WEEKS AGO but when it's up to someone else to do something...

You see, I requested my official transcripts from one of my undergrad schools in December. Actually, I requested all of them then and 2 of the 3 came through. In January I wrote another email and requested the forms again. Then I sent TWO follow ups and still received nothing. Then I learned that was a deadline and it was 10 days away. I wrote again and finally received the transcripts.

I have trouble getting letters of reference too. I asked for them in NOVEMBER and yet, January came and went and no letters. I wrote emails and called and FINALLY got a call asking "how do the letters need to be put together?" How hard can it be to hear "three letters, each in a separate envelope, sealed and signed across the back" and do that? No, this guy couldn't. When I DID receive them, they weren't signed or even SEALED for that matter but seeing as how I now had 5 days to get them in, I couldn't split hairs. I also couldn't forge his signature. It's too hard. I tried.

So I paid $28.50 to express my documents to Toronto on Monday and I was thrilled when I got an email from the University on Tuesday saying they had everything. Thank the Lord.

But again, now I wait. To quote Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride: "I hate wait."
