Dammit!

I was doing my UCAS form last night, I had it all penciled in and everything written out so I could go over it in black ink and hand it in today...

I completed the whole of the first page and then realised I had missed out the 'Student Suppot Arrangements' bit...

It already had Essex written in it so all I had to do was write the bloody word over the top of the other one!

Well I can't even do that!

E - S - S - X

Oh crap!

Now I've got to wait until Wednesday before I can get another form 'cos the teacher wasn't in today who has all the forms and everyone is striking tomorrow!

Stupid form, why can't they make things easier!

Unless it's your CV or something, you'd be amazed how little the people who actually read them care about the condition.

I had a student loan form (that nets me like £4000 when processed) sent back to me with staff writing all over it (due to some confusion over my address or something), the version they eventually got looked like someone very ill had wiped their bum with it.

At my school we did it the good ol' fashioned way. Filling out the form was easy (:D), but the personal statements were something else. We typed them out on computer, then printed them out onto special sticky backed paper, to which we had to stick it onto the filled out UCAS form.

One slip, on millimetre either side of where its supposed to go, and the form was ruined, for which you had to start again, not to mention incur the wrath of agitated staff. I was lucky, but the things I've seen over that...

LOL!

I know the feeling, I'm always doing stuff like that.

On our GCSE Science Modular Tests we have every three months or so we have to sign our name at the top, and I don't have an exact signature yet, and everytime I try and make it look professional and it all goes balls up. On some I write, "A Haynes," and on others I write my full name, and in the one we did a few days ago the A kept looking like a bloody H and I had to rub it out and the rubber was dirty so it smudged.

I'm surprised they don't fail me on the basis that I can't spell my own name.

Would have been a bit nervous writing on it but looked fairly simple.

Mr. Bryant (only phi11ip will understand) will eat you for that (your body is used to increase his head size).

Just wait till they ask you to stick your personal statement on the form! I still have nightmares about that...

According to my director of studies someone sent in an application for vetinary sciences at Cambridge with a picture of them holding a cat with a bandaged leg in the space where your meant to stick a passport photo.

Didn't get in unfortunately.
