At Home and Already Lost

For number one in undergrad study abroad Arcadia has a pretty convoluted way of going about the paper work. I’m studying abroad  planning on studying abroad this coming spring semester at the University of Westminster in London, England. My deadline for the application is October 1st and I'm freaking out that I will not be able to finish everything in time. Every time the finish line is in sight some new bit of paperwork gets in the way. Half of it is online and half are hard copies, then there are some places where everything is duplicated and no amount of meetings with 400 other students planning on studying abroad is going to help me figure this out. I am so utterly confused and I just want someone to hold my hand the entire way through. But no one's ever there to hold your hand so might as well jump in head-first. 

While running all over campus today going to meetings, turning in papers, and requesting transcripts and other bits of my academic career I find that I need a portfolio by yesterday and my tuition may not be covered. Its simply just too much. After raising my hands in frustration I laid them back down on my keyboard and began to send out copious emails requesting help. Yes they're needy and desperate because, at the moment, I'm needy and desperate. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I want to do is lay around and watch Halloween shows. It may not be October yet but if the mailing room at Arcadia gets to put up a festive garland then I get to completely trick out my apartment. Which looks amazing and smells as if someone's been baking pumpkin bread all day. 

Hopefully all my fears are for naught and I'll get over to England and everything will be alright and all my courses will transfer properly. But Murphy's Law is constantly ringing in my head, "If anything can go wrong, it will." I have twenty years or unfortunate truth that proves this law holds true.
