Nothing is ever what it seems
You know, they tell you to get things done early, not so that things are done and that they are out of the way and you can enjoy life. But rather because there are a thousand little things that crop up that you aren't aware are important that have to be done.
The little things will get you every time. The little things like remembering the exact date and time of something that seemed innocuous and unimportant but that turns out to be vital if you need to retrieve a random bit of documentation.
I am slowly checking little things off of my list of little things How is that possible? Ah, the wonders of relative time.) And, as it turns out, whilst you are checking little things off of your list, you find that other things are being added to it.
For example, if what you need is to send a GRE score someplace, you have to remember things like when you took the test.
Or, if you need to have a transcript someplace and it turns out to be quicker to do it online, you have to call and get your University account reinstated so that you may sign online and make the request. The good news is, I suppose, that things should be done by Monday. That means I have to work extra hard between now and then, though.
