orange123 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I tried calling a couple of times to figure out when my movers were planning on arriving and kept getting a range of dates. I finally called and talked to a lady in dispatch who informed me that she had no idea when my stuff would arrive (to which I replied, well that's sure handy). I gave an annoying sigh and asked if I would receive a call when it's supposed to arrive and she said I'd definitely hear the day before it was coming.No more than 5 minutes later - the doorbell rang.... it was the movers. Lawl!! Hilarious! Kay, the first mover we chose said he'd deliver this week, and the most bizarre thing happened. He's been M.I.A. since two weeks ago. He's not returning our calls, his company told us he was doing our move "on the side" since they have no record of it. *horror!* And I found out later that he hadn't even collected my things. Which turned out to be a good thing, since I was able to scramble and find a new mover. The universe works in mysterious, albeit truly beneficial ways.

No more than 5 minutes later - the doorbell rang.... it was the movers. Wow! That's just crazy. Although we had absolutely no idea when our stuff was going to arrive, we did have a day's warning. Since we were moving from Germany, our stuff had to clear customs, so my husband had to go down to customs and get all the paperwork approved before our sea container would be released for the movers to then deliver it to us. So although they were several weeks late, due to a lovely dock workers strike in Montreal, at least we had a bit of warning when our stuff actually got here.

The Law Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 After applying to so many US schools, I'm thinking of just not applying to Canadian ones outside of Ontario. I don't know if I have the time to finish UBC and Dalhousie's app, I haven't started yet and they are due by Sept 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange123 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 After applying to so many US schools, I'm thinking of just not applying to Canadian ones outside of Ontario. I don't know if I have the time to finish UBC and Dalhousie's app, I haven't started yet and they are due by Sept 1! That's early! I don't remember Dal's deadline being that early this past cycle. If you do apply to dal, you can just recycle your essay for U of t. It'll save you some time later on when you're working on OMSAS. But that choice is yours to make.

Hmm, it seems like the Dal one is sufficiently longer. The essay I have for the US is almost good enough for U of T (have a bit of space still). I make the Dal cutoffs and I think I have a well-rounded application, so I'll try to do it next weekend... I don't think I'll apply to UBC though. OMG OMG OMG OMG I GOT A 7 IN A VERBAL PRACTICE EXAM... MY HIGHEST SCORE!!! (i wasn't able to do the last passage tho ) A 10 is on its way, keep practicing and learning!

LostLamb Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Man oh man...3 days in a row i've done 3 EK VR tests and I have gotten 32 out of 40 every single time!!! i don't get it...how can I be so bloody consistent? If i could get even 1 more answer correct, I would theoretically boost my score a point. It isn't like I am getting the same ones wrong over and over either, just always a smattering. *le sigh* The good news is that I have more and more time left at the end as I go, so that will give me plenty of time to finish should the current AAMC verbal passages be longer than the EK practise ones. I just wanna get over the hump and get the 'good' marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
