Paperwork up my EARS

So this morning i woke up to a lovely email from the EAP coordinator with the Keio application packet attached. Long does not even begin to describe this process. I already knew i had to get health clearance done so I was getting on that, but after looking at the packet, there was much to be finished. I ordered a transcript of my grades as instructed, called to schedule a health exam (but you have to turn in papers to the office first <.<) and printed out allll the paperwork at Rescomp. Along with the actual application to the school, there was another Japanese placement sheet, eligibility requirements (for the visa later), course plans (what you think you'll take for each semester), an online profile to create, and about SIX-EIGHT more passport pictures to take (and they have to be official). I did what I could so far...messed up on some and now I have to reprint/redo them. I'm going to try and get a majority done by next weekend, however, most of this isn't even due til the beginning of March. And luckily, my extra letter of recommendation came in handy since it's required for this new 'application.' But since my professor spelled my name wrong ('ch' instead of 'k'), I have to have her revise it. Shot her an email and she replied saying she'd do it, yay! Not that it's really her fault...even my grandmother still gets my name wrong.

All in all, this shit better be worth it. Not to use profanity, but seriously, it's a lot of time, effort, and money going in to this already, so I'd better get in, stay in and be able to make it to Japan.
