(no subject)
I really dislike writing personal statements. They're ultimately self-aggrandising pieces, and I'm uneasy with such. Sure, I mean every word I write, and the committees need it to get a better picture of me (which a formal research proposal cannot do), but still...
So I've gulped down a can of beer so that I'll be genki (BANZAI!) and the task less distasteful! Wish me ruck!
In this light, it is probably for the best that I didn't get that PR job at that MNC. If I had, I'd now unquestionably be so deep inside a pit of self-loathing that I'd be holding out for an hero to get me out.
