So. Much. Work.

Hey, all! Sorry I haven't posted for a while. My life of late looks like this: go to Job #1, eat lunch while driving to Job #2, do Job #2, come home, eat dinner, study for GREs and/or research graduate schools, go to sleep, repeat until Saturday, visit Alexander in Beloit, then start again.

It's exhausting. I still don't feel ready for the GREs and while I have a couple of grad schools I'm very excited about, the majority all look pretty okay and I really don't know how to narrow it down. Plus, I'm still not sure I'll be able to apply for next year because time is running out and if I do poorly on the GREs that's kind of it. So I'm very very stressed out and by Thursdays I pretty much feel like crawling under the covers and sleeping for a week (the shortening days and increasing clouds are not helping, I feel winter depression creeping up on me. I need to get out of the Midwest).

So that was definitely the point I was at earlier tonight but I spent all evening watching Buffy and putting together my CV (I should have been in bed like two hours ago) and I'm feeling much better now. My CV actually looks pretty good, and pretty full. It looks like Beloit College and my internships and experiences have prepared me pretty well for grad school and there's a possibility I might just get in. I just hope they see it that way, too.
