ah...I don't have essay juice anymore
So, this whole essay-writing thing has really been a drag...so...the night before this scholarship application is due, here I am, trying like the 4th approach to a REALLY SIMPLE question. like, so simple, that it is taking effort to make it not sound like bullshit. The topic is so easy, but I don't want to turn in a bullshit essay. the slicked-over, smooth 'education should be about understanding other people' kind, where you talk about learning to love everyone, and how YOU loving everyone is going to make OTHER PEOPLE love everyone, and everything just ends in a big love fest.
*sigh*
it is really, really, going to suck when I finally have time for another honors class and I have to do this on a regular basis again.
at least I woun't be balancing tons of lab reports with it, or maybe I will, but I'm going to pretend that I won't and that after this year I will never write anything but real reports ever again.
which brings me to my next major life development...
this whole finding a job thing...its kind-of life consuming at this point. Like, I did get an interview with Martek, and that whole situation sounds wonderful. The half hour commute from campus is going to get old, and I might need to find somewhere on the east side of Lexington to ride (since going between Winchester and Nicholasville might be too much driving for me), but I'll see how that ends up. I've been talked into the Lean Manufactuing Bootcamp that UK has, so, if I go to class 7 days a week for 4 weeks, for the next three summers, I'll be a semester away from a masters degree. which is pretty cool, except for that whole 7 days a week thing. and that I don't get to go home. I'll have two exams on the friday of exam week, and then move all my stuff into the apartment before I get kicked out of the dorm, and start classes again on Monday. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. and I don't even know if I need to have an opinion about it yet, since I still have to apply for the program (AKA, I need another essay).
speaking of which, I need to get back to that whole happy friendly scholarship essay thing.
oh well.
