Musings

I'll be back to blogging a bit more now that I finished applying to grad. school. I kept tweaking out over little details in my portfolio. I think next time I'll just go to a real printer and pay up instead of visiting Kinkos... they really don't know how to utilize their expensive machines there. I read over my professional statement for the 569th time and found that I forgot to include an "of" in a sentence, so now I feel mentally disabled. Oh, well. I wish I could have an interview with the admissions people. There's a lot that just doesn't come across in an application. Although the portfolio was a great help.
