Lost forever? Oh no...do not despair.

So....pretty much two years ago I met with my most awesome degree evaluator, if you go to my university ask me for her name and I will most gladly recommend her. She told me that I needed a transcript for summer school that I took out of state one summer.

A bit of a story about that, I thought I needed it...but then I changed from a BS to a BA so I no longer needed it. I didn't know I still needed to turn transcripts in, since I didn't need it for my major any more. Anywhoo....the school that it was from is archaic and I had to mail a check and fax in an order form for the transcripts. I told my degree evaluator I would come back in when they came in. Well....I didn't.

I'm a flake, I dropped the ball. I finally called her and played phone tag for a bit and spoke with her - among other things I said "I'm really sorry that I completely dropped the ball," her response was "don't worry, we'll take care of it." I think she should get an award for being awesome. I meet with her tomorrow.

Okay...I know this sounds dumb but I literally looked at this envelope with my transcripts from out of state once a week for the last two years. Apparently 7 weeks ago when I took down my bulletin board to make room for more posters, the envelope did not stay affixed.

When I went to look for it I figured I must have anticipated bringing it into my degree evaluator and put it in a bag.....well, I couldn't find it. I just spent the last 2 hours searching for it. In a last ditch effort I looked behind a box that was under the bulletin board's original location...there it was.

I'm so glad I found it. So...12 hours from now I meet with my degree evaluator. Hope for the best.
