Am finishing up applications and EXTREMELY nervous about forgetting to send a document and having my application be dismissed because of that. Which by the way is why I'm hating my French university right now - I have tried contacting them via email (like they told my dad I should do when he called them) to get them to send my transcripts and their translation, and I have gotten no response. I don't know if they've read the email, if they've sent the transcripts (and if they thought about attaching a translation), if they don't give a fuck, nothing. Oh, the beauty of an underfunded educational system. There are advantages to paying over $5,000 for a single school year.
Am even more nervous to hear back from Sylvia about my first draft for my prospectus (statement of intent/research proposal thing), but I'm trying not to think about that.
Either way, it should be all be good and ready for posting by Monday night. At least the Phillips stuff.
In geeky activist news,
reports of the Boston TV Party where Joss spoke have started springing up, and
photos make me miss Massachusetts (you know you want me back, MA, YOU KNOW IT) (also, Joss, this is no weather for a Boston cap, it's time for a
toque!!!). I do wish I could have been there. Hey, at this rate, the strike will still be going on by next year, so I might get a chance. -_- (And how cool is
that kid whose mom had him skip school so he could be an active citizen? Yay! That's so me and my son in twenty years. *nodnod*)
And if you're interested,
here are stats about the pencil campaign and which fandoms have been sending the most pencils. Joss comes second, and what's really amazing about this? Is that Joss doesn't even have a show on the air right now. He's just that awesome.
