I am cold, tired, hungry, wet, and at the current moment feeling utterly miserable. Outside is freezing and I feel like VENTING
I spent lots of time this last week writing when I could have been doing other things like studying for Physiology, laundry, PSP stuff, etc. But instead I opted to write. I enjoy recieving reveiws because then it means that someone actually likes it and gives me encouragment to keep writing it. But no one except Bob has reviewed and I thought that maybe this last installment was one of the best.
And I finially figured out what happened with my medical school application. To make a long story short-er...in November I had problems for 2 weeks because AMCAS wanted to charge me $150 to send my general application to UMDNJ because I wasn't seen as a combined B.S./M.D. degree. Finally, My guidance couselor calls the medical school and after about 30 minutes on the phone they realize that I am in the 8 year program and notifies AMCAS so I don't have to pay. Then I sent my transcripts and MSU took forever and a day to send them out. This was at Thanksgiving. In the middle of December, AMCAS recieves the transcripts and send the full application to the Medical school. YAY! In January, UMDNJ sent me a secondary application to fill out, which i did though I thought it was a bit odd. Then they send it BACK stating they need written documentation stating that I recieved the AMCAS fee waiver. Why didn't they look at my application where it stated I was a combined degree? Why didn't they walk down the hall and ask the special program office? So after 2-3 weeks of trying to find some documentation, I went to my counseler again. SHe called and told them numerous times that I was not supposed to fill out a secondary application. That I WAS in the program. Finally, some woman was informed of her mistake and apologized to me. Now, I go home and have to resend the stupid secondary application of frustration to the school again when NO ONE else in the program had to even fill one out! Arg!
Not fun! So now I am at work and I am going to write the next chapter of the story that no one will review except my closest friends. People suck yet for some twisted reason I want to be a doctor. How Ironic is that?
