Congratulate me.

I have done something Difficult, and need congratulating for it.

I have filled in the Mitigating Circumstances form for College regarding my literature report, which is supposed to be submitted by tomorrow, and won't be because it doesn't actually exist. There was a big empty box entitled "Please explain how the circumstances have affected your work and/or studies", and I had to write something meaningful in it. That took me 3 hours. It didn't help that some FLAPPING MORON from my university managed to produce the form on US LETTER SIZE paper, whereas in this country the standard size is A4 - so all the margins are screwed up!

The form has now been emailed to the correct person, but I don't have a doctor's letter owing to the fact my doctor has gone on holiday for 2 weeks. He agreed in August to write a letter, but I wanted to leave it until I had some sort of timescale on returning to my studies. If he has left useful information on the computer system then another doctor will be able to write the letter from his notes, but if not I will have to wait until he is back.

I am staying up until 2pm, and then I am Going To Bed.

That sounds like the kind of thing that would paralyze me past the deadline. Well done you for submitting it before the deadline for the literature report.

Ah, I'd already seen the form and knew about the Big Scary Box. That was, in fact, why I procrastinated until 29th September something which I "should" have done on 21st September.

I would be much happier if I'd had a reply from the PhD Administrator to confirm that he got the email! Still, a date stamp is a date stamp, and I cc-ed it to Philip and my Disability Mentor.
