… I’m not particularly sure WHY I have a blog now, but I do…. I suppose this is my soapbox now… to rant and to rave from… I wonder if I’ll ever update it….

As for now, I’ve got some university application work to do. I don’t understand it! I sent in my OSAP stuff, and I got back a little slip from the University of Waterloo, saying they’ve got it. In the back, in small print, it says (along with other things) “What to do now:” and one of those things is “Visit our website designed especially for applicants” etc. etc.

Now me, being the person that I am, naturally assumed that this was just another way for them to sell their school (there’s like 2 important pages in their little university booklet, why would their website be any different?) But, eventually I went on out of boredom.

So, it seems I have to fill out some ADDITIONAL paperwork to be seriously considered as an applicant. Well crap. I don’t know, if I were them I would’ve put, in huge letters, probably in hot pink (instead of their normal drab black) “Your Application Is Not Finished Yet!! You Must Visit Our Site And Give Us MORE INFORMATION”. But no, we get “Visit our website designed especially for applicants” in size 10 font. The fake signature of the “Director of Admissions” is bigger then this vitally important information!! I certainly wasn’t expecting them to have this teeny tiny text with important stuff in there. I donno, maybe its just me that has this problem….

For such a smart University, they have really stupid people working in their “information” department. Then they wonder why kids are so stressed about University applications. Gah! We’ve got to read so much small print its a wonder our eyes don’t start bleeding!
