kyrasantae | "Operation: Homecoming" update 2 :D :D [UF repost]

10:30 this morning:

I have been nominated by my uni to go to Finland this spring... Time to fill out the second set of forms...

N.B. This is mostly an endorsement from UofA more than anything else. Only now does Jyväskylä get to see anything about me at all.

11:10:

I just hit the 'submit' button.

And all I really needed to do was make a few revisions to my original motivational essay (fortunately I retained a copy of it) and copy/paste it into the box, as well as fill out my contact info, then upload the copies of my transcript.

Deadline for this form is Wednesday, which is a very short turnaround, but given that my uni has a special arrangement with them over there in .fi, it's very generous.

The deadline _as written on the form_ was Feb 22, and it says that decisions will be made March 14 (FRIDAY!!) but I don't know if that applies to us. It probably does. Hence the Wednesday deadline, I bet.

Whatever, man. I just wasted another 40 minutes I could have spent procrastinating on my German homework.

Anecdote (via email):
Me: "I just submitted the form. Thanks for helping me procrastinate. Fingers crossed, [kyra]."
Study Abroad Advisor: "Thanks for filling out the form so quickly!"
Me: "How can I help it? I'm <---------------this--------------> excited!"
