It's been a crazy month so far, including my first PRIDE, Kaz's first Halloween, PugFest, and lots of other fun stuff. I've been meaning to post about it all, but every time I get near the computer I'm reminded I need to continue with my job search and grad school applications, so the blog gets pushed back. Well, even though those same concerns are popping up today as well, I'm still gonna write... something!
Today I got a rude awakening: I checked my grad program's website for the first time in a few weeks to discover that they upped the deadline, from January 1st to December 15th! Yeah, it's only 2 weeks (most likely 2 very BUSY weeks) but still a shocker. The big problem is that my propensity to procrastinate has stopped me from requesting recommendations from old professors, bosses, etc., and requesting such favors at the last minute is pretty, well, unprofessional. So I sent off my email requests today- finally! I actually already heard back from one- the leader of the NPO I volunteered with in India. It was so wonderful to get back in touch with him, and even better, he actually remembered me!! I was also able to send out transcript requests from ALL my schools, which has been much more of a pain than expected (I have to send all of these transcripts to the 3 programs I'm applying to: my main uni, my study abroad program, my summer classes school, and even my AP scores from high school- wow!) So I'm finally really getting into the application process. It's pretty exciting!
I actually don't have much time to write more now, but I'll try to soon~~
Oh and an amazing book that I expect you all to read! :-)
Welcome all you fujin and shujin out there!
