Meh.

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*

I'm sure Colraine wouldn't turn you away just cos you don't have the cert right now.

I asked my ma for a copy of my cert, she took a photo of it and sent it to me...

I'll give them a ring, I'm sure if I'm prepared to pay them monies for a course, they'll be grand ;p


heh, that technically IS a copy, tho not the most useful one ;p

I think you're right!

It wasn't un-useful - I photocopied and enlarged it and the rest is history (masters).

... i had to get a notarised copy of my certificate AND transcripts for mine. unfair! *shakes fist*

(happily the best friend is registered as a notary and did it for free)

Wow, that is a lot of hoops to jump through! Thankfully the lovely people at queens sort it out and now I have it clutched in my grubby paws ;)

you might have to delay registration but panic not! do suggest you get a hold of queens again and ask them to at least email you to confirm that you applied for a copy in time and the hold-up is at their end; also i would call coleraine today and explain the situation (i.e,. don't show up on monday when everyone is running about like a loon and tell them then). they will no doubt have encountered this kind of thing before(and in all honesty - even if they do not care for your trauma, they want your fees. and thus are not going to turn you away from the course because you had to register late!)

Yeah, they may be happy to eg phone Queens & confirm that you have a degree.
