I happened, just on an off chance, to check the PSC application website and I found that the essay (if I deign to submit it) is due on the 20th of March, which means that if I want to apply this year, I'll have to do it by tonight. Right now I'm leaning towards sleeping.
Anyhow I'm locked out of the site for a while because my modem lost the connection and 'multiple login is not allowed'.
