Get This Man a Doctor

A man, a plan, a canal. Panama.

Berkeley app in

Wednesday, December 13, 2006

Today is a crappily glorious day, or a gloriously crappy day depending on how you look at it. Today I gave up any hope of getting into UC Berkeley and submitted my application. I have to say that my essay royally stunk, which is odd because it was adapted from a much awesomer essay that I submitted to U Maryland.

But at least it’s in and I can stop staying awake at night, like I’ve literally been doing for the past week. Happy hour helped a little, but I think it was an illusion caused by the fact that my hostess actually went to bed the same time I did.

I received one of my recommendations. Two to go. I still have not heard back from the professor I chased down, despite sending two emails. Am I willing to fly back to Portland before January 2 when the Berkeley recommendations are due? I’ll have to think about it. I would say that this whole process is driving me nuts, except my job had the privilege of doing that first.
