O hay there journal.

So, I put in a job application to Barnes and Noble about a couple weeks ago. Waiting to see if they call me back.

I started looking up the materials I'll need to apply to UW for Winter quarter. Fall quarter registration is too competitive; it ended last February. I've got to gather my official High School transcript (once SHS starts for the fall) and official transcript from Green River, plus write my Personal statement-- a 2-4 page, double-spaced essay on my academic history and why I should be admitted. Then I've got to submit all the materials, plus the $50 registration fee, either by mail or in person, since I don't know how to submit the transcripts electronically anyways. All before September the 15th. Dear god, I hope I get admitted.

I've finally decided that I'm going to major in Japanese and minor in Linguistics; the perfect combination for a future translator.

I'm also looking into the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. The test is December 7th, and curiously enough, the Seattle branch of the test is held on UW campus. I also chose today of all days to start looking up information, and I found that registration, conveniently enough, begins in four days. A series of very interesting coincidences, I should say.

By all counts, my life is set to open up in new and indescribably interesting ways in the near future. It's almost scary, looking forward and seeing the misty clouds of uncertainty that lie there. But it's infinitely better than seeing a flat plane of nothing stretching to the horizon. Which is what, basically, I've been dealing with all summer. Hell, the last couple of quarters have felt like that.

I'm gonna enjoy this ride.

Whenever you submit a job application? It's good to call in and check up on it after about a week of waiting for a call back. Four days, at the earliest. It lets them know you want the job.

Also, congrats at everything opening up for you.

Good luck with the job application, Matt! I hope you get it. :)
It's nice to see you posting again! :D

Normally you have the transcripts sent by the schools you're getting them from to the school you're applying to. If you open the envelopes, they're voided. Just go order them and say you want them sent to the UW admissions department and maybe provide an address.

Good luck on getting in/job/etc!!

Heh, I know enough not to break the seal, but I'd forgotten that I could just have the schools send them directly to the university. XD; That will make things easier.

[nytyngayl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's no big deal, really. The college might even have a spot for you to specify where you're sending them.

.....why do you need your high school one if you're a transfer student?

[majutsukai.livejournal.com]

Dunno. They ask for it, though.

[nytyngayl.livejournal.com]

Odd....they shouldn't need it if you have college credit.
