GREEN LIGHT: I'm going to GRAD SCHOOL!!!

let the anxiety commence

Ah... post-application nausea.

Week 1: Call from director of grad studies in Mizzou. Rejected because of lack of hard-science background in undergrad. Ah, the sweet life of an anthropology/liberal arts undergraduate upbringing begin to haunt me... At least Matt was sweet about it, and he offered to buy me a drink at the AAPAs. Nice.

the road to my future is paved with applications and personal essays...

Thus begins the season for paperwork. Returning from an amazing summer with a 7a-8p schedule each week and having nothing more than excavations to worry about has spoiled me silly. I would say, was most definitely the most productive summer vacation I've ever been in.

But it's back to reality and again diving into the world of standardized exams, essay after essay about who I am, what I've done, and why exactly should I be accepted to programs and given financial aid. *sigh* So much to do, yet time flies so quickly.

If only there was an easier way to do this.
