• Perhaps this is a good time to provide an update of my life to those of you out there who might possibly still use xanga...

  I finished my AMCAS apps on July 3...about 3wks later I received a bunch of secondaries, from everybody except Oregon, so I guess I already got one rejection

  Couple weeks after that, I decided that Case Western is probably not for me, so...it's gonna be the last secondary I do, if I do them at all...ditto with Harvard, except that the reason is I have 99% chance of not getting an interview, and since they have no secondary essays, it's really just a question of whether or not I want to fork over ~$100 for a more than likely rejection...

  Anyway, I've submitted secondaries now for Wright State, U Cincinnati, U Rochester, and U Pittsburgh...I'm currently struggling with my OSU apps...with U Michigan, Mt. Sinai, and U Penn still in line.  Somehow I have to get this all done by this time next week ...I can feel the onset of slow panic...this is not a good feeling to have.  Really though, I just have to get OSU done, because parts of its essays and the essays I've already completed can be used for the other schools with some slight revisions...this is very very lucky for me.  The only problem now is the fact that I have the worst case of writer's block that I can ever remember (which basically means I've never had it this bad)...I don't know why I'm stuck and I don't know how to get past it...all I know is that I've been here for almost a week now, and that's one hell of a waste of time...sigh...

  Finally, my parents told me tonight that they want to plan a trip to Michigan before the start of school for my bro, which is just under 2wks away, so now they're pressuring me to finish everything by this weekend...I really don't know how I'm going to hold it together, but when September starts, it better be over...at least until interviews come along.  I still want a trip of my own before I start school or ANY interviews for that matter, and I don't intend to be disappointed.  Stress...it kills...

  Anyway, thanks to whoever actually read all this, but I had to vent...so here it is...my apologies for the length...well volunteering tom, then work...so good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite (btw, those bed bugs really do bite and are actually making a comeback in the US right now...go figure)
