Today, the world is full of rain and meh.
Plans for today had been planting daffodil/tulip bulbs, redoing window boxes and riding horse. Weather thwarting much of that (tho, can probably do window boxes in the garage). May be forced into cleaning kitchen instead. MEH.
Also, slight panic re Uni registration on Monday. For this I need degree cert. Sent off to Queens for this 3 weeks ago, having been assured it would be there in 10 days. Certificate has not arrived.
Phoned yesterday, they have a 'backlog' (understandable at this time of year I guess). V pleasant guy on phone assured me someone would be in touch 'by the end of the week'; he became less confident when I pointed it out it WAS the end of the week. Not sure what to do now. May phone again and see if there is ANY chance I can pick it up by the end of today.
If not... Help? Phone Coleraine admissions people and see if I can register without it maybe? Is that likely?
Alternatively spend weekend frantically hunting thro the mother's house for the original.
(and yes, I DO realise I am an idiot and should have sent off for it at the start of the summer)
ETA CRISIS AVERTED!!! A lovely lady from Queens called at lunchtime to say I could come pick it up, and now I have it!! Hurrah!!
Many thanks for all the v. helpful suggestions! Going to scan it before I do anything else.
So now I can just get back to panicking about actually going back to university wtfamIdoing??? *flails*
