30 November 2012

I have submitted my applications for USC, Northeastern, and Vanderbilt, and I also worked on my UPenn essay today. The only things I have left are the essays for UPenn, Stanford, Conell, and Harvard. It's a good deal of work but I have all of December to finish it all.

28 November 2012

I wrote all of the short answers for Stanford's "profile questions" - the only thing left for that school is the short essays.

26 November 2012

I finished up my UC application. Lots of work, but it's ready to submit. I want to make a few finishing touches to the essay but other than that I plan to have it in by tomorrow or the next day.

19 November 2012

Kept working on UC. I want to have it in well before the deadline, since UC is notorious for its site crashing during the days just before deadlines. Hopefully I can have it all done within another week.

15 November 2012

I spent the class working on my annotated bibliography. It's coming along well and with some more work and finishing touches tonight it will look pretty good.

13 November 2012

Essays, essays, essays... this is getting old. Kept working on UC today. I also need to get that bibliography done - I'll probably work on that next time.

9 November 2012

I worked on my online speech class. just a little more reading then two video-submitted speeches and I'm ready to test out.

7 November 2012

I continued working on my UC application. I'm having a little trouble adapting my common app essay for UC, but I think I can make it look pretty good with a little more work.

5 November 2012

I am trying to adapt my Common App essay to fit one of the UC essay prompts, and I'm working on a topic for the other one. I also completed all the "Future Plans" sections for all my Common App schools.

1 November 2012

I finalized my USC supplement and as soon as my recommendations are in I can submit it. I also revised the the intro to my UPenn essay and outlined much of what I want to write for the rest of it. Finally, I just found out today that the UC deadline is Nov. 30, so I will begin to focus my attention on that app.
