I feel extremely stupid and furious with myself. Despite being as organised as possible with regard to my year abroad, I still made one huge mistake - I thought the deadline for my ERASMUS Certificate was the 31st of July when it was actually the 1st. Hence a major panic a week last Wednesday and my calling and emailing everyone I could think of to organise getting it there in time. Just goes to show that you should always trust your instincts - something, and I am not entirely sure what even now, made me check my profile on the University of Vienna website to see if there had been any updates and so on. It was there I found out the deadline - I had completely missed the deadline written on pretty much every other piece of paper that the University of Vienna sent me! Somehow the lumpy grey matter which passes as my brain had missed this.

So I'm royally p-ed off with myself, something not helped by the fact I got a very pointed and derogatory email from the ERASMUS Co-ordinator at the University of B. basically telling me they were very disappointed with me and that the paperwork etc. is all my responsibility. As I was on holiday in Wales last week, I didn't read the email until today when we got home - so now they probably think I'm lazy AND and idiot. I sent them back an email explaining how it was all my own silly fault and that I had done as much as possible to organise the posting of the form before she even got my first email about possibly missing the deadline.

So I feel stupid.

Very stupid and quite upset.

This thing called growing up is really hard at times.
