This is just getting ridiculous now. I got home last night and immediately did a small tweak to my scholarship entry and submitted it again. It’s now after 2:30 PM and they still have not sent me a link or posted my entry on their site. BAH!
To say that my temper is flaring right now, my anxiety is through the roof and I’m wound up like a top pretty much covers how I’m feeling. I’ve had a rather short fuse this week anyway and this just seals it for me.
I’ve written to the person that my admissions rep. put me in contact with yesterday, just to see what’s going on. I haven’t heard back, but I only sent the email a little while ago. My patience is just non-existent today.
I woke up terribly late (we didn’t get in to work until after 1 PM), which is unheard of for both of us, my joints are suddenly so achy that I can barely move and walking up the flight of stairs to the mezzanine where I work was a big ordeal. I should have taken the elevator, except rumor has it that people have gotten stuck in it before. 😆
I think I need to take some deep breaths and I really wish that I had one of my take-one-as-needed-if-you-are-really-freaking-out extra anti-anxiety pills with me. I haven’t had to take one of those in a couple of months, so it tells you what kind of state I’m in.
But, I’m going to pursue this scholarship opportunity to the ends of the earth, darn it! I’m not a quitter. I even went so far as to email all of the entry information to the contact person to make sure he (or someone) can post it manually, if needed. I refuse to let this slip through my fingers because I didn’t pursue it hard enough.
Hopefully, I will be posting again soon with a link to my entry! 😀
(((Jenna))) That is awful. They should simply cancel the competition and have it restarted once they have finally worked those “glitches” out. This is simply unacceptable and completely unfair.
Oh my goodness, Jenna! What ordeals!! How unfair to put you through all this stress!!! My mom – a true optimist – would just say that this is getting all the bad luck over with right up front and that the rest will be blue skies and smooth sailing!!
