I have a passport.
I don’t have the “NO RECORD” result from my background check yet, even though it’s been over 6 weeks.
Apparently it takes 3-6 months for me to get my diploma. It’s been 3 months now. I can’t wait another 3 months when I would like this to begin in February :(
I really want this to work out now. I wish it weren’t so difficult for it to come together. I wish it weren’t aspects that I can’t control that are so difficult. I can’t make the background test result hurry up. I can’t make UCSD send me my diploma sooner.
This helpless feeling is unpleasant. I just wish I could take control somehow and move this process along.
