April's Fool

April Fools Day is today if you didn't know.

I've pranked my roommate twice. It'll be three times once she gets back from the library.

Mwahahahaha

So.

Today is also the application deadline for study abroad spring 2014. Which is what I'm applying for. I've had the application filled out and submitted for about a month. The only thing I've needed for a while now was the letter of recommendation from a professor. I asked my math professor from last semester if he would write it (since he loves me) and he said yeah sure, but remind him when it gets closer to the deadline. So, I stopped by his office a couple of weeks ago to remind him. He was grading midterms with his grader, so he told me to e-mail him with my name and "recommendation letter" in all caps in the subject line. I did that when I got back to my dorm after classes that day.

Then again two weeks ago.


Then again last week.


Then again this morning.


Then again at 8 pm.


Then again at 8:20 along with the words "DUE TODAY" at the end.


That got his attention. But only enough for him to reply with "I don't know where to send it."

I replied, "It sent you an e-mail when I first requested you on the application. It should say something about Global Programs in the subject line. I don't know the exact details."

To which he replied, "I don't have an e-mail from them."

I replied, "Did you check both of your e-mail addresses?"

He replied, "Yes. Still nothing."

Me: "I've asked my other professor who wrote one how he submitted it. And sorry for freaking out earlier."

Him: "That's okay. I'm sure the deadline is just for the students. And thanks for the ALL CAPS. Otherwise, I wouldn't notice it."

So, the other professor got back to me and said he received an e-mail with an ID and instructions on how to log in. He also sent me the url of the form to fill out. I forwarded that message to the first professor. I am literally praying that either 1) the deadline is actually just so the students fill out the application by then or 2) my professor figures out how to do the rec letter.

I am almost crying. So, to distract myself, I'm going to eat a chocolate bunny and watch the Game of Thrones season 3 premiere that I missed last night.
