Since 11:30am I have:
-submitted what application materials I could online
-paid all application fees
-ordered transcripts sent from Stony Brook to various colleges and paid fees
-registered for GREs and paid fee
-wrote emails asking for recommendations
-filled out paper application forms I couldn't submit online
I still need to:
-fax letter to Goucher requesting that copies of my transcript be sent to prospective schools
-print statements of purpose that must be mailed
-borrow GRE math review book from library, as I'm taking the exam on the 11th (yes, in 1 week) and I am woefully unprepared
-write resume
-address and stamp envelopes
-mail everything
-give people the recommendation forms and envelopes
I've been sitting in front of the computer doing this shit for 6 hours. I feel somewhat zoned out, as if I could keep working for another 6 hours and not even get a headache or start twitching. It's like I'm on adderall. I mean, I've never actually been on adderall, but I think this is what it would feel like, from anecdotal evidence and Lifetime movies. My brain knows naught but work. It almost makes me want to break out the Spanish books and start reviewing. I am a robot. I have no desire but to complete the tedious task in front of me. OK, that's a lie. Law and Order: Special Victims Unit is on at 7pm and there's a carton of peanut butter cup ice cream in the freezer with my name on it. I desire these things.
I haven't written a resume in approximately 4 years so if anybody has any advice, it would be most welcome.
