october in a nutshell

So the month has come and gone without a single word from me. Sorry about that. Hopefully I'm not still just writing for myself on here. But I wouldn't blame you if you'd completely abandoned me, figuring that I had moved on to something better. Truth is that I was just caught up in life as I knew it. I was studying for the GREs (which are now over), on vacation, and spending time with Tim.

Now I'm back on the island and finishing the last bits of my applications, the dreaded essays! I've been wracking my brain for ways to write these things, but it's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. You'd think that it would be easy to explain why you want to follow the track you want to. I get thrown for a loop when I look at past profiles of students who've gone through one of the programs and most of them have PhDs and masters degrees and here I am trying to get in. I wonder if I'm kidding myself.

I certainly hope not.

Parting Words Of Wisdom

"The fear of rejection really kind of stunts your growth as a person. I mean, it's like a friend of mine says, who cares if you fail? Who cares if you fail? It's like babies try to get up and walk all the time and they keep falling down. If we just gave up, we'd all be crawling around." — John Rzeznik
