JET Update...
I finally got my reference back from my Prof! Yai!
Her envelope weighs significantly less than my other reference... Which means she didn't put her reference in triplicate... /sad_face
My name is misspelt on the envelope, which means it's likely misspelt in the reference letter itself. And I'm talking about Bryan, not the (presumably more difficult) surname. /very_sad_face
I hate asking people to do stuff for me, I hate owing favours (even if they don't see it that way), and I absolutely despise having to go back to someone who did me a favour and say "hey, that was super-helpful, but... you did it wrong. Could you do it again, but this time correctly please?"
I really feel that it makes me seem ungrateful. But if there's any mistakes in this, they just bounce my application. They don't ask for a correction, no, they just reject it and that's it until next year. :(
[Edit: and the prof in question appears to be coming down with something, as she had to skip out of an Ethics Bowl meeting. And she has marking to do. I hate it when I feel like I'm really imposing on someone.... :( ]
