A light at the end of the long, long (In the form of a 4,000 word essay) tunnel?

That's right my followers! 4,000 words. Read on if you are genuinely interested in my academic Hell (detailed in my last post). If not, check in later this week to see what I did in London this week!

Ok, now onto the update. After a weekend dreading the worst, I received an e-mail yesterday morning from the Geography Department at King's! YAY!

But first, I must go back to Friday. I met with the second professor that I had an exam with, and he was SUPER kind, and sympathized with me. He too had studied abroad and been in a similar situation, so he said he would do whatever he could to help me. PRAISE THE SWEET BABY JESUS!

So even though it was Friday, and even though the professor was really ill AND had a meeting till 6pm that night, he managed to write up a wonderful little e-mail and send it not only to the head of the Geography Department, but ALSO to the head of the Exam Board! HOORAY! Because of this, my stress level decreased even more.

Then, on Monday morning, I opened up my e-mail at 9:30 to find a little gem in my Inbox. The solution to my problem (hopefully). I am to fill out a "MCF" or "Mitigating Circumstances Form" AND write a essay up to 4,000 words, detailing why I can not sit for exams at King's. I will attach my new plane tickets to this essay, as well as correspondence between my internship boss and myself to prove that I will not be here.

Then the Board will consider my case, see whether I have good cause, and decide whether I am telling the truth. And then, by the Grace of God, they will allow me to take some other form of assessment. HUZZAH! There is hope that I will be US bound May 8th!

...and then I get to play with mosquitos. Yay for being a Biological Sciences and Wildlife & Conservation Biology double major!!!!! I live such an exciting life....

Ok, yeah, I know I do NOW since I am here in London, but once I'm back in the states? Not so much.
