Eeep!

So, UCAS has been giving me a lot of problems again. Grrrrr! They randomly decided not to let me login to my "Track" page... Track is where you go to check the status of your application, edit information, etc. They kept telling me my login details were wrong, which they weren't. Every time I requested the "correct" information, they sent me my login details from my old application. Talk about frustrating...

I asked my buddy James, if he could call for me like he had in the past (Making him my hero). He did so, but even though I gave him all the info, like my personal ID numbers and such, they refused to tell him anything. :( I was not a happy camper.

I mean, honestly. HOW do they expect international students to get ANYthing done? If I email to their "Help" account, I just get an automated response telling me to call this number between specific hours. Naturally, these hours are when I'm sleeping or at work. HOW am I supposed to contact them then? Hmmm? And if, like me, you are lucky enough to have an amazing friend like James, who will take time out of his own hectic schedule to call for you, but they won't tell him anything, what are you supposed to do then?!

Wow, I ranted a bit. But I'm done now. Or at least, for now. As you may have noticed, I have been a tad put out. It really is the worst feeling. Having to wait to hear about how you may be spending the next few years of life, then not being able to even check to see if any progress has been made... I went a bit mad....

Today, magically, UCAS let me login. :) YAY!! I was able to check my status. My application has gone through the UCAS screening, and they have sent it to the university for consideration... Now for more waiting...
