...okay. So I sent off my first application. Thought, yay, one done, eleventy million to go. Thought, at least one's done, and it's as good as I can make it. Yeah. No mistakes. No typos. It's done.

Got an acknowledgement this afternoon, which is nice - just to let you know we received it safely, thank you for applying, blah blah blah. All good.

Noticed something odd about said acknowledgement. Went back to check application hard copy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH OMG ARRGH. I GOT MY FIRST NAME AND LAST NAME THE WRONG WAY ROUND. I AM A MORON OHMYGOD.

You're not a moron! You're just not letting the man define your cultural identity! Right on! Assert your demiotherness! Make it political!

I don't know. Sounded liberal artsy. I got hit in the face with a football today and now I have a headache. Anything I say should be ignored.

You're right. I would leave a thousand spazzy snarky comments in my essay by mistake instead. I only seem competent on the internet. (Well, I'm competent, just prone to snarky comments in inappropriate places, but that'll get me in a lot more trouble than yours!)

I did that on an application pretty recently myself, actually: noticed at the last minute, went 'ohshit, no', reprinted the first page of the form -- and then promptly did it again. So I thoroughly sympathise.

Oh! Oh... honey... It's okay. They'll still like you. They might call you by your last name, but that's coooool, see? Like, if Mulder and Scully got married, they'd still call each other by their last names. All the cool kids switch their names around like that.

*looks around* *grabs some cool kids* See? Look at these kids! They're totally cool. In fact, I'm going to do that myself!

Really. Seriously. It'll be okay. Honestly, truly.

*cliiiiiiing* What if I'm not cool enough to be like Mulder and Scully? What if I'm a big geeeeeeeeeek?

Seriously, though, I am almost at the stage of finding it funny. Almost. And you cheered me up a whole damn lot. *hugs you squishily*

What incident might you be referring to there, dear?

We need to meet! I might pop into school next week - you still in absentia?

I vaguely remember something when you came over last time about going to the post office several times in one day ^^

And we do! I'm still in absentia but I am allowed out to town and so forth so long as it's not a blizzard/storm or tornado type climate.

I did that with my UCAS form & they had to call me at home and at school to chase me up; I felt like such a failure, but looking back in hindsight it is pretty hilarious.

I'm almost at the stage where I can find it funny now. Almost. Waaah.
