Validation

The Faculty of Arts office phoned me this afternoon to say that they're working on my application but they're not authorized to get a copy of my Jyväskylä transcript from the Study Abroad office - I have to do it and bring it to them. (I'm actually the one with the original, though - SA made a copy of it for their records - so I will bring it to them.)

I was not asked for this the last time I submitted an application; maybe I didn't think of writing it into the online form but I did on the paper form this time. (I did it for old times' sake.)

Maybe it's because I've been spending the entire afternoon reading Douglas Coupland's Girlfriend in a Coma, which is quite a haunting book, but this too feels haunting - as though finally somebody cares that something happened to me in Finland, even if it's just a few insignificant numbers earned by attending a bunch of lectures and writing a few essays.



Edit: I agree, academic Latin can be lulzy.

I just realized that I still don't have a *facepalm* userpic
