So, I finally decided to start my study abroad application today. It's been sitting on my desk, my floor, and then there was also a week-long stint on the living room table... well, all in all, it's probably been lingering about and nagging at me to pick up a pen and fill it out in that silently annoying way that necessary assigments tend to by default for approximately a month in total. God, I'm such a douche for procrastinating for so long. I mean, though the application's not due until late September, the program's still first come first serve, and hot DAMN do I want to go to London. It seems pretty straight forward enough, but there are all of these questions that I, being a girl between houses and phone numbers, have no way of answering without screwing up future mailings and important milestones that I just can't miss. I guess I'm just going to have to call my mom and ask her what the mature, adult thing to do would be. Oh, and did I mention that I royally fucked up one of the instructions, too? You see, being the grammar nazi that I am (thanks, mom), I didn't really read over all of the directions before filling it out, and while I thought it'd be perfectly okay to use lowercases and capitals, NO. THEY WANT THE APPLICATION WRITTEN OUT LIKE THIS, IN BOLD, BLOCK, CAPITAL LETTERS.
FUCK.
So now, I think I need to find a time where I can somehow make it to the Study Abroad office that's only open during hours that I'm working. Double fuck.
Well, actually, now that I think about it, it might not be such a travesty after all. I mean, I could always just ask Ethan to do me the favor of picking up a new application for me while he's working as a tutor on-campus. "No big deal," he'd probably tell me... but when it boils down to it, I'm just super pissed off that I fell for the old elementary school trap by not reading all of the directions. Schmack!
Sigh. In brighter news, I can finally watch the new Ginger Sling video for Faith (!!!!). Did I mention how I really need a new obsession? She was such an overdramatic overactor in this three and a half minute or so musical extravaganza that after my first viewing, I practically peed my pants. Well, at least she looks pretty, right?
Warped Tour is totally less than two weeks away. AND I MAXED OUT MY CREDIT CARD HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!
p.s. Goes back to reading Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix >.> Yep, only about two years behind, move along, people, there's nothing at all to see here besides a DUMB GIRL WHO CAN'T FILL OUT A GODDAMNED STUDY ABROAD APPLICATION. >:O
Sigh, p.p.s.
