Ugh...

So I never really saw myself as a procrastinator but I suppose I must be. I begged to see my academic advisor for over a month before I saw her in December. By that time, Christmas was upon us. She did not strike the fear of not making it in time to me so as Christmas stuff filled my days I didn't worry about figuring out OT school stuff.

Now here it is, I look up the information I need and deadline...January 15....crap. Alright, I have time. I have done my observation hours, I have people who will be my references, I have the grades, all is well...

Except the GRE. I haven't taken it yet! And moreover, it costs 300+ dollars!! And it takes 3-4 weeks for the official results to get to the school!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

So here I am, I have just paid $45 to apply for U of U, I need to go buy my transcript, not sure how much that is, to send over to them. I will need to pay OTCA $125 to apply for the OT program. And then after all of that I have to pay someone ridiculous amounts of money to take the stupid GRE and even then, they won't get it on time. (Oh yeah, and I haven't bought books for this semester)

I called the OT academic advisor and she said either way it is a gamble but if I take the GRE asap, they might get it (albeit late) and still consider me.

I am freaking out. I have filled most everything out online, I have gotten mostly completed with everything, it is just that test. So I suppose I will take the gamble. I guess I will spend the money and try. I don't want to waste a year. I want to finish this.

*sigh* My brain hurts.
