Finish the Dark Tower series (only two books left)
Universal Studios Orlando (just want to go to theme park and have some fun while I can)
Not a lot of stuff, but then I have to start getting ready to basically start over.
Personally, I stopped by their offices and took them a little gift (roughly $10 each maybe a little less) and told them the news. I know that is not possible for a lot of people but if the LOR writers are within a reasonable distance then telling them personally is a nice touch. It was also nice for me to be able to tell them. If they are too far to drive to, then a "Thank You" card with a hand written message would be good.
A lot of good suggestions here. All I know is the same stuff as everyone else. Try to get a paid position or at least volunteer in the field you want to go into. Show the people next go around that this is what you want and you are dedicated to it. Good luck and keep the faith (this was my second season for Ph.D. programs with 0 success last year and acceptance this year).
What would one need to do if they were interested in volunteering as a moderator? Just an open post saying "I want to be a mod" or should a pm be sent?
