so im knee deep in essays and thesis work so i'm going to save the more serious "hey look i'm graduating and i want to thank..." blogs until after i conquer these mountains. But until then, an update on hawaii:
3 weeks ago, i got this email from the Masters of Social Work secretary at the U oh H:
Hi Darren,
I have your application before me and was just about to acknowledge its
receipt. No decision has yet been made on your application. Can you check back with me again within three weeks? Hopefully, I'll have an answer for you by then.
Aloha,
Marlene Matsuda
so 3 weeks later, today, I sent em an email to check up on my status and got this as a reply:
I checked with the Graduate Division and they will work on your application
right away. Upon receipt of their documents, we will then review your
application for admission. Thanks for your patience.
Marlene Matsuda
... which got me a thinking. If Marlene had my application 3 weeks ago to review, why is she telling me now that my application is with the grad division? Just to clarify the way paper moves, is that it first goes to the grad division, and then sent to the specific department for admission review.
"I have your application before me" - 3 weeks ago
"Upon receipt of their documents, we will then review your
application for admission" - Now
something smells fishy about these emails I've been receiving. But on the real, the waiting part doesn't bother me. Now that I have no timeline of when i should get word, it's like Christmas Eve everyday. But yeah thanks everybody for checking on me with this and now you know what i know. In the words of Marlene Matsuda, "Thanks for your patience"
