GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT.

School was called off again thanks to ice on the roads. Unfortunately, no-one called me or the co-worker who gave me a ride. We made the discovery based on the empty parking lot at the school. Joy of joys. We called the VP, who apologized profusely for our being overlooked (apparently the phone tree is indeed ( Read more... )

Fun, fun! Good luck with your work and your reading. :grins:

Much obliged, doll!

Did the application. Apparently, you had to go through it in one go. Okay, fine, I did. Apparently, I didn't need references. But the application asked for them. Weird, but okay, and I really hope that my references come through should they actually be needed. I also, apparently, didn't need a statement of intent for this part of the program. Okay, awesome. And then, once I'd gone through everything, paid my money for the application, paid for a transcript from my old university to be sent, it said that I had to be sure to include a statement of intent in my online application. Which had been submitted. And where there had been no place to upload or include one.

Gah. I sent an e-mail to the advisor I'd been in touch with, and hopefully she'll clear stuff up. Right now I'm just antsy, jangly-nerved, and hoping things do indeed work out.

Sorry to dump that on you, but needed to get it out.

Aaaaaand time to go get lost in a book, methinks. Distraction is a cure for nearly everything.

:hugs: I have had those kinds of app issues. I call them application error instead of operator!

I envy your snow days, but not your phone tree! My system is big enough to have an automated call out for announcements and snow days. Pretty rad to answer the phone while still snuggled warm in my bed, then roll over and go back to sleep. (Not that it's happened yet, or is terribly likely to do so any time soon, as today's weather was nearly 70 degrees Fahrenheit!)

KICK ACADEMIC ASS.

I don't know if the snow days should be envied as such, but hey. At least the VP is fixing shit.

You, on the other hand, are insanely lucky. I like your automated system much better. And your 70 degrees. We've got ridiculously icy roads right now, which makes it unsafe for teachers and school buses to drive them.

I DID. AND IT FEELS WONDERFUL.

We broke the record for high temps. 73 today.

I saw in the comments about how it didn't ask for a statement online, and then told you that you needed one after you had already submitted everything (grrr argh); have you gotten any news about that weirdness yet?

lithiumlaughter January 12 2013, 16:21:45 UTC

Yikes. It's freaking JANUARY. How does that even happen?

Actually, yes. It all got cleared up. I was contacted by an advisor, and they told me that what went wrong is I applied to the MEd program directly. I'd thought you had to apply for your final goal, but apparently this was not the case. I had to apply to the certificate program first, and then work my way up. Said advisor clicked a button, adjusted it, and wished me well.

I am beginning to like this university a lot.
