Oopsy-daisy

I’ve been working for quite some time on securing a scholarship to spend this coming fall at a university in Taiwan. I got the scholarship. Unfortunately, the scholarship did not bestow upon me any prowess with basic paperwork or timekeeping, and so it was only with nominal surprise that I noticed—today—that today was the postmark deadline for application verification materials.

I need signatures and scads of paperwork from various officials. And I have nothing.

So, I wrote an e-mail to the scholarship committee, donning my most humble of humble miens, explained that I’m an epic douchebag failure.

I’ve already heard back from someone within the scholarship organization, someone who either works in a west coast office or has a brutally dominating boss, given the timestamp on the e-mail, and it’s all good.

Everything works out. Always. I learn no lessons.

Ever.
