Channeling Charlie Brown
Y'know when Charlie would be frustrated or angry, he'd throw his head back and yell "auuuughh!!!" and all you'd see was his mouth? Yeah, that's me right now.
My application is almost done. I have to do 2 applications--a main one through a stupid, stupid, fucking idiotic web portal, and a supplemental paper one. Guess which one is giving me problems.
I went back and reviewed the final take of my web application. I realized that I noted I got my degree in the year I started college. Well, that's not right, so I went to update it and put in a value 4 years later. Oh but NO. I CAN'T. That's right. In order to fix it, I have to delete ALL of the four years of coursework I manually entered, and then go back and change ONE YEAR in the main college screen, and then re-enter the coursework.
They have No. Fucking. Edit Button. And this is the "fix" described in the FAQs.
When I realized this, I almost hucked the laptop into the fireplace, but that would be no good, since Scott likes it and it's a nice thing and all. What's that? What's that noise you hear? Yes, it sounds like the opening of a two-buck Chuck Merlot! Mr. Shaw, I love you and all of your medicinal properties. Thank heavens for the good, fine, upstanding people who sell your medicine at Trader Joe's.
As God is my witness, I will finish this friggin' application TONIGHT.
Now please excuse me while I go eat some cheese, drink some wine, and watch the Seachickens lose to Denver as I re-enter all fucking four years of undergrad work.
