College Applications

Its a long boring frustrating process that I wish I wasn't going through. And having a retarded technologically challenged school doesn't help.

First essays was my problem. I couldn't think of something to BS (as funny as that sounds). Then I found out that to apply for one of my colleges I had to do the first topic on the Common APP...which I didn't do.

So now I have college essay take two done for two of my colleges. One college was completely done by the beginning of october but I didn't have teacher recommendations and my school is holding my application and transcripts until I get those in. Which I have to fill out forms and hand out to my teachers. Teacher recommendations are also a wonderful complicated story and I found out that one teacher I was going to ask follows a different process than the others. Joy.

And then scholarships...which everyone needs. A requirement for one was my guidance counselor's email. Which I didn't have. And my effin school cite didn't have. So I was three hours from the dead line, with no email ..I put in my english teacher's one cuz it was the only one I had. crying but it doesn't matter because in name I by accident put "teacher" and in title/position I put "teacher" and I went back a page to fix it but the first one probably went in anyway.

But I got my guidance counselor's email from a friend on aim...5 minutes after I submitted the application ;o;
