Who uses a fax?

Well apparently if you need a Erasmus application sending off really urgently email just doesn't cut the mustard.  It makes sense actually, as most of the forms are filled in by hand so you'd only have to scan them in anyway.  So it looks like I've been accepted in principle, hopefully the 'Motivationstext' I wrote in a couple of hours this morning and didn't get checked won't put them off too much and I'll be seeing an acceptance letter in the next couple of weeks.  It was also nice to learn that I'm not the only one as in the department office (who are lovley) I waited behind someone who was doing the same for Parma and had a friend who was in the same boat (also Parma).  Now all I have to do is part with about €800... ouch.
