Not at all grad school related, but I finally hit the 25 lb weight loss mark! :-)

One of my schools should be sending out acceptances this week. This could be my last weekend without an acceptance!

Ugh! Two of my apps are due Dec 1st and 2/3 of my LOR writers still haven't submitted their letters....

    Fortunately both of mine submitted them before I got to campus, but that was my plan too! Good luck!

    Yep, I don't want to be a pest, but I think I will be sending a friendly reminder email in a few minutes.

Trying to cut my 1,200+ word SOP down to 500 for a particular school. Ugh!

    I had to do that. It was awful.

    It was a painful process but once I had done it, I ended up liking a slightly expanded version of my 500-word SOP more than the 1000 word one. It said all the same things, with a lot less fuss.

    It wouldn't have been so bad if they just wanted the purpose part...but they also wanted the personal part so that made it tricky. I don't really like it, but it's as good as it will get.

GRE tomorrow! Feeling good, but would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous.
