ok kids, personal essay time.

i am actually working on grad school apps this morning. seems they all want some form of personal statement, a "what i want to be when i grow up is..." kind of thing.

maybe i am not approaching this in the proper mindset. see, i know from friends who used to sit on admissions boards that you can't write anything like "i have always enjoyed literature" or "i have always been a voracious reader" or anything even close to that. nothing along the lines of "i want to help share my love of reading." they will throw your essay away or pin it to the wall for laughs later on.

so where does that leave me? so far i have only written three very sarcastic paragraphs about grad school at least being better than PTA meetings or working at the GAP. hahaha. i may have to start this one over.

ok, t.s. eliot and i have a date and then it's back to GRE prep. good thing that yankee loss is still keeping me in high spirits so this ego thwacking isn't bringing me down.

go sox!
