OGS

The entire process for OGS (Ontario Graduate Scholarships) is somewhat exhausting. Yesterday was long and stressful anyways, and I learned late last night that the OGS web page actually provides you with the wrong forms (i.e. the ones from last year), if you download them from their main page without following the entire process for filling out your application online. Normally I'd just go print out the new ones, except that I have already submitted two of these older forms to my professors to fill out as academic references. I suspect that the dates are important, as the government tends to be anal about such things. I sent an e-mail to both of my referees explaining the situation, and asking for advice. Needless to say, last night did not end well. This morning I have fared better. One replied that he'd fill the new application out online for me, solving that problem. The other e-mailed me and told me to bring him the new forms, just to be safe. I can drop them off in his office or mailbox today, which makes things easy. Those problems are thus solved, but I'm annoyed at the alteration of my gameplan, and I curse the provincial government for it. No matter. This weekend I will have to work on completing my application package, including my statement of interest, and have everything submitted by next Thursday. Then I can look forward to the whole process again for CGS. On to Victory!
