I really need to finish this grad school application today. I have been "working" on it for the past month. Which means I have gotten 3 letters of recommendations from former professors (a fairly difficult task since I am no longer in school), my official college transcript, and have gone to the information session (& met with a professor)... Other than that... NADA
It's not that its difficult per se, its just that, well, when it comes to writing my personal statement I have no idea what to say... I can talk about myself to no end, and blog till the cows come home, but when its time to sit down and actually write it... zip. completely blank.
I know this is what I want to do. I know that I am prepared for it. I have experience and the perfect educational background for it... and yet.... how do I put that in writing???
I'm just procrastinating now. I need to go grocery shopping and do laundry... and I think that tomorrow I'm starting work at my Step Brother's law firm for the next week or so... So this really needs to get sent out today.
Whats wrong with me??????
Plus I don't know what to wear out to dinner tonight. Or for our Valentines Day dinner on Friday night. Or for the BF's bday party on Saturday. Oh, and I need to send out a facebook invite to all our friends for his party... ok, enough procrastination. It's game time.

I'm so with you.
I have a huge midterm in my International Business class tomorrow and what am I doing right now? Not studying but catching up and commenting on blogs! Ahh, what's wrong with me!!
Good luck with everything =)
I know how you feel about actually sitting down and getting things done. It's so much harder when there's easy distractions like blogs
I have been bad, too. Have all these errands I need to run and i am not running them. Good luck with the applications!
I went through this when applying to grad school too. And then I decided not to go to grad school and thought, "damn it, all of that for NOTHING??!"
hope you got it all done! i go through that phase all the time...don't worry, it will pass and the fire will be lit under you!
For what it's worth, I totally know how you feel. So much. I certainly hope you figure it out! And if you need help, I'm here to bounce ideas off of!
I'm so glad you're blogging again. I've missed you!
Good luck getting everything done. I've got a big "to-do" list too.
I am so with you. I have been putting off job applications for so long!
I totally feel like I just skated by on my grad school applications. Which worked out okay because I got in! The personal statement is a killer. I'd rather have it be a 'describe yourself in 140 words' type of thing. Haha, not that I have any idea what I'd write for THAT either!
