...and now we wait...

Last 5pm Friday was the deadline for my grad school application, so naturally I waited until the day before to give the requirements a looky pooh to see what I needed to do.  There were your standard letters of recommendation, transcripts, resume, etc.  The biggest beast of them all was the admission essay (i.e. tell us why you think you are worthy to come to our amazing school).  Let me remind all of you that it has been many moons since I have sat down to write anything longer then these blog posts, let alone something that will be critiqued and analyzed and dare I say it....judged.  Gulp.  Just the act of opening Word to create this monster of an essay got my pulse raising.  I had to fill 5 pages with glowing, flowing, witty, and informative answers that gave the reader an insight into "who I am".  Excuse me whilst I barf.  I had to skate the fine line between selling myself and sounding like a pretentious bitch.  Let me tell you, that line is thin my friends, very thin.  So essay is typed (it is relatively smart and "grad-school-y") I rushed my application packed to the main office.  Nothing like sliding it under the door at 4:30pm.  Way to keep them on their toes eh!!?  So now with my application in their hot little hands we sit and we wait.  And we wait.  Nothing like waiting to make you sweat.  Eeeeew sweat.
