I was in a good mood today.

I've been anxious ever since I got that e-mail from Goldmsiths, thinking that maybe they'd already accepted me and the letter was in the mail. Since we live in the sticks, the mail people doesn't deliver to the house, so we have to go to the Post Office to pick it up. I really wanted to do it yesterday, but I had the option between getting stuck in this huge traffic jam or skipping it by just going home. I chose the second option. So I finally went today to check the mail, hoping that I might find have gotten something from them (or Birkbeck, I haven't even gotten a hint from them). and I did find a letter from them, requesting that I submit evidence that I know English. Apparently the personal statement and research proposal aren't enough. I was so almost certain that I would finally get an acceptance letter from someone so I could finally get moving on getting a VISA and housing, but noo. I'm going to e-mail them to explain that, no, I don't have an IELTS or a TOEFL score, because I've been speaking this language my whole life, therefore, I didn't take those tests. My Dad says that a letter from my old school, which is all in English might be enough. All I know is that I wanted to write and now I feel like hell. I think I'm just to watch something.

I just realized that the letter is dated March 19. That was two weeks ago! Why didn't they just send an e-mail like the fees officer did?
