Continuing registration for UOL course

I finally found that darned letter from UOL.

It seemed like I have been searching for it for years, digging through mountains of notes, flipping through piles of bank notices, and swimming through a sea of other paraphernalia. Oh, how much I've sweated just to uncover it - my letter for continuing registration for my UOL course.

I thought it was quite silly of them to mail the letter to us so soon, when I received it in August. Or was it July? It was SOOOOO long ago I couldn't recall.

Anyway, I was supposed to fill up the form and mail it over with the cheque for the continuing registration fee by 10th October, and I was really starting to get worried yesterday when it continued to remain MIA. It didn't help that the humidity and heat was stifling and pretty much driving me crazy. You can imagine my relief when I found it. No more exertions in that torrid weather!

I wasn't very happy though when I saw the fee - 261 GBP (Great Britain Pounds), and increase of over 7% on the previous year's 243 GBP! I was to change my mind, however, after my trip to the bank to get my bank draft. Thanks to the drastic weakening in the GBP this year however, this year's fee cost me almost SGD$50 less! Woohoo!!

Hopefully, the exchange rate will stay favourable till next year, when I pay for the exam fees.
