So TWU is still being irritatingly difficult, as are the GRE testing people. TWU insists they never received my GRE scores. The testing company insist they sent my scores in March. It seems never the twain shall agree. The testing company say that yes, they can re-send my scores, but I'll have to pay for it, which doesn't sit right with me seeing as it's not my fault if the scores got lost, so why should I pay twice for them?
So I think the only thing to do is to kick TWU to the curb, which I hate to do seeing as it's where I got my bachelor's degree, and I loved it there, but institutional squabbling is getting in the way of starting to work on the sodding degree, and I've no patience for it anymore.
I'm now embarking on applications for a creative writing master's degree from two universities. Both are accredited online degrees, and cost the same, so it's a matter of which one wants me and/or responds first. Best of all, neither requires GRE scores. So there.
They both require a writing portfolio, so putting that together will keep me out of trouble for the rest of August at least. Sigh, it's amazingly difficult to convince people that you really want to learn from them, and even when you're willing to pay to learn from them, they still don't make it easy. I think there's something masochistic in that.
