I never anticipated how stressful it is applying for university overseas. I thought it was just score good grades, apply, cross fingers and see whether you get in. Now that I have apparently passed that stage, I thought everything else would be far less stressful. WRONG. I need to:-

1) Take passport photo
2) Certify grades
3) Courier grades to LSE
4) Apply for new passport
5) Apply for student visa
6) Look for accommodation

all within a limited time period, and at the same time hope to squeeze in other necessary things that I want. Blah.

I haven't felt this stressed in quite some time.
