Kat: *hugs* Sorry I didn't respond to you earlier. Yeah, it's lovely when you get someone nice, friendly and helpful at Centrelink. It's just so rare.
Laura: *huggles* Thanks so much. It means a lot that you took the time to let me know you are reading.
Today has been a bit of a mixed-bag. I've made a couple of phonecalls and sent a few emails and even had to resubmit an assessment for a trivial reason!
I got an email from the OUA Enrolments centre today telling me that to register for the degree I need to first successfully complete two OUA units towards the relevant degree. After that I have to fill in a form and I'll be able to head towards my Bachelor of Technology (Computing Studies).
They also advised me to contact the School of Computer Science and Information Technology directly in relation to Credit Transfer. Despite the fact that they (School of CSIT) were on the address line of the original email the Enrolment section gave me the email address. I sent the School of CSIT a more detailed email, trying to give them as much as possible in order to help me. I'm still waiting for them to get back to me.
I also rang the TAFE where I am currently studying to talk about how to order an Official Academic History. The chick on the phone would barely let me get a word in edgewise. She kept telling me that they would accept my multiple "Result of Assessments". I told her that I needed an Official Academic History, and eventually she conceded that one could be printed for a cost - but wouldn't tell me what the cost was.
I got an email from the Diploma Co-ordinator about my final assessment today telling me it had accidentally been zipped as a .7z instead of a .zip so could I please resubmit it. I took advantage of the opportunity to check all my links worked and re-validate the pages, but all the pages came back green [Green means it is valid code; Red means the code is invalid]. So I zipped it again - making sure it was a .zip and then resubmitted it.
The thing that pisses me off about this is that I originally submitted this assignment two weeks ago. It should have been checked then. Now I'll probably have to wait two to three weeks before he even thinks of looking at the damn thing again. Royal pain in the arse.
I tell you, sometimes the days where you seem like you did nothing can be some of the most stressful!
