Only the cut text is important.
I didn't want to complain about this but the stress is really starting to get to me here.
I got accepted to my study abroad program. It was the city and school I wanted, but not the program. Okay, that's cool, by the way I had a week to get two formal letters of recommendation from professors. Never mind the fact that I'm not very close with a lot of my professors, but a week? With finals right around the corner? That's insane. So, I shot off emails to the same two who wrote me letters of recommendation for UW's IPE exchange program (which is separate from the Japanese Universities program) and one of them responded right away and I had my letter the next day.
The other replied that she was going out of town and would reuse the same letter as last time. That's all good and well. I gave her the contact email for the guy working at the IPE office, who told me to give her his email address. She never replied back. I sent him an email myself asking if she was able to get in touch with him. He never replied back.
I need to turn this all in this Thursday before noon or I don't go to Japan.
My main reason for applying to UW was for their exchange programs. My main motivation for going into an expensive college at all was their exchange programs. To attend not only a Japanese university but the 3rd most prestigious public University in Japan? It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. It's been my dream since high school, middle school even, and now it could all go down the drain.
My mom already told everyone she knows that I'm going. I'm already in the IPE program so I'm out $700 regardless of how this turns out. I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't go. I haven't been able to focus on anything all week; I couldn't even go to class. I have two tests tomorrow and I can't get myself to study, let alone look at my textbook. I think the only thing keeping me sane right now is drawing and doing things to make other people happy so I'll be happier by proxy.
I have a weird way of coping with things.
I think I'm just gonna stare at my computer and draw some more until I can kick myself into going to bed. I only got about 3 and a half hours of sleep last night, but I'll probably end up staying up until 2 anyway.
At least I only have one more week of classes.
