I really start to hate the middle weeks of December. Not only am I finishing up last-minute essays and quizzes for all my courses, I also have to start studying for my harrowing finals and somehow, some way, squeeze in my remaining graduate school applications? What, I'm not done with those yet? No, no I am not, because my P.O.S. computer got a wicked, nasty virus and has been out of order for about a week. Yesterday, I was able to recover my personal statement files but needless to say the damage to my work ethic has already been done. Thus, I am here writing on my blog instead of focusing on my future.
I have an uncanny ability to ignore responsibilities until the last possible second, which is kind of funny since I have a lot of responsibilities, what with my various student groups and class work and research, etc. I would like to say I am doing something to manage this, but sadly I don't try very hard to fix it. I like my relaxation time I guess :)
Anyways, what prompted this post was my recent reading of a post on science-professor.blogspot.com regarding applications to graduate school. A friend sent me the link because she found it funny, but unfortunately she, already being in graduate school, probably did not realize that to those that actively applying to graduate school, the humor in the post was lost and replaced instead by paranoia and anxiety. If you are post-graduate school admission, I recommend you read it because from the comments, it seems like a lot of people found the entry funny. If you are still applying... well, it's your choice.
Well, enough ignoring my responsibilities: I have a lot of time to sit down and do nothing but apply to graduate school so I believe I shall take advantage of that and get some work done. Ciao.
