Excitedly Nervous
I am moving into the final stages of my application. I wrote my letter of purpose over the last couple of days and sent it to someone to proofread to make sure I'm not writing something completely ridiculous. I think it's pretty decent, especially since I've never claimed to be a great writer. Quite the opposite. All I have to do is update my resume (5 mins.), send in my transcript (go downtown?), and get my recs in. They have my GRE scores, but I think they got sent to the wrong department, so I'm hoping somebody can go dig them up. Actually the really nerve-wracking thing right now is I just emailed my USC profs to ask them if they'd write letters for me. I know one will probably be enthusiastic about it, but I'm dreading what Benner will say. He's always the one to make things hard, but it for good reasons, which I think is why if I'm any good at all, I am that good. If there's anyone I have to defend myself choices against, it's him. I'm more nervous about this than bringing it up with my dad. I knew he'd be supportive. But I figured if my thoughts were focused enough to write down in my letter of purpose than I should be able to face him. On the other hand, he might think it's a great idea and have no problem. I'm just not sure which it's going to be.
