School-related nerves and wibble-wobbles

beandelphikiI keep getting school-related stuff in the mail, which is making me JUMPY. Yesterday I got a package from Alberta Ed., which made me panic, since I thought that maybe they accidentally mailed ME my high school transcripts, rather than sending them electronically to the University of Calgary like they were supposed to. But no, it was just an "unofficial" copy of what they DID send.
Then today I got a letter from the U of C admissions office, which also freaked me out, but it's to "acknowledge receipt for your application for admission." Uh, thanks?
WTF people, stop sending me unnecessary stuff!
Oh, and discovered that in my online records, I have outstanding transcripts for "Alberta Postsecondary." I assume that's Chinook College, which is adult high school upgrading. Meaning, they already HAVE those transcripts; it's part of the high school transcripts they got sent electronically on the 4th of April.
This is what happens when A REAL GODDAMN PERSON doesn't deal with these things. I guess I'm going to need to make a phone call to someone to get that sorted out.
Was looking through course information again, and realized I never once even glanced at the "overview of classes" for Biological Sciences (which is my first choice course that I applied for). I applied to Biology for no other reason than it fits best with my eventual overall plan for med school, so I didn't think to check what classes I'll actually be taking in the fall.
Evidently, some introductory bio, chem (neither of which I'm too stressed over) and...calc. Ah yes, this is why Math 31 is a strongly suggested prereq course.
Uh, it's been four years since I last took Math 31, and it was a nerve-wracking experience at the time. Methinks I should locate some brush-up material this summer for intro calculus.
This is all assuming I get in, of course.
