These past few days have been dedicated to graduate school preparations. This includes, but is not limited to: editing writing samples, contacting old teachers for references, researching programs, beginning the arduous process of writing a personal statement, updating my resumé, and actually filling out applications. I’ve had some high moments (finding out I don’t need to send a couple of transcripts) and some low points (had to cross one of my favorite prospects off the list), but overall I am happy with the progress I’ve made. It feels so right to be heading in this direction, even if at times it seems mightily overwhelming. This afternoon is dedicated to more personal statement work, which I find to be a most entertaining and stimulating project. What?! Clearly I’m kidding.
I’ve been listening to some pretty good tunes this week to help make the time seem a wee bit less stressful. Here are some examples of my favorites. Hope they help you as well!
And to think I was just in Paris exactly two months ago…
This is definitely my favorite Ray song.
