June 10th: Deadline for submission of RA contracts
Deadline for submission of Emera scholarship
Completed and sent in my RA contract by the 9th. =) ! Still don't know why I waited so long.. We needed an SIN number, and I need to get myself a Canadian bank account. Even though I'm with scotia, the currency would be different. So I need to get that done when I get back to Halifax, either before RA camp, which means less time on my island, or get it After RA camp, which means that I might miss the deadline and get paid the next time around.. Which.. i guess isn't bad at all .. There's a day in between camp and the deadline so I'll hustle !
As for this scholarship...
1. We needed an Essay.. and I really began working on it the night before.. I had a draft already so it wasn't so bad.
2. Reference letters. . I remembered this the day before the deadline ! :| . So you can imagine me explaining this to my intended referees ! lol. But they got it done in time, and I'm glad =)
3. Resumé . I updated mine ! =) Added my new JOBBBBB in therrrreeeeeee =) . I liked seeing a real job on my resumé . I felt proud *SuperHeroPose* . Now it's just a tad longer.
4. Transcript - THAT was a TASK! :| I spent about an hour and a half in that office waiting to see the principal. THEn she tells me that I need to speak to the bursary. Who then sent me to the secretary, which was in front of me the entire time! Except now of course! So I had to wait till she came back. Then What? They tell me it takes 2 to 3 business days :| . WHAAAAAT???!!!! sigh* At this point I'm ready to CRY. And I'm just standing there because I don't know what to do..
She just asked ''Why does everyone wait until the last minute to request this?"
And I just stood there . =( .
Then she said, "I'll do it now"
:| . what???? Here I was thinking that they had to go through some long process of getting information from somewhere else, and getting permission from this person and all sorts of stuff.. Nope. She just needed to fill some things out, and that was it. Three pages. Took about 25 minutes to do. WOW. Anyway, I'm grateful. ! VERY!
I got everything done by the deadline =). And IN went my app.
Let's hope that I FINALLY get a scholarship... Getting this would be so amazing! sigh*
I'm praying !
