Apps

Today is the first deadline for my graduate applications. Four schools to be exact. March 15, August 1 and "rolling" are the next deadlines to come, however I somehow managed to complete all seven applications and send them in already. With the signing, sealing and delivering of these applications, I feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. Reading over the peer-edited personal statements make me feel proud of what I have done and ( dare I say it) successful. I laughed thinking that I could be so conceited due to having thoughts like, "I.Am.Awesome", and even suggested to Jeremy that I should just read my statement anytime I feel like I have done nothing with my life. Luckily, lately I haven't experienced any of those low moments. I've been able to keep my n.y's resolution of taking some time every week to do something I love, which has offered a lot of self-reflection and allotted for self-appreciation. I'm not perfect, and I doubt that anyone will ever be, but I'm not terrible either. It's taken a lot of time for me to realize that.

I'm hoping my applications impress the individuals making the admit/reject decisions, but I've done my part to the best of my abilities and now all that's left to do is wait...
