babe it must be art

I just completely covered a legal pad with my to-do list, complete with dates, for December. I associate legal pads so strongly with my mother, I feel like it might be worthwhile to start using them for note-taking just for the comfort factor.

Holiday card post! Take a look if you're so inclined. ^_^

In other news, grad school applications: two down, six to go. Like most dreaded things, submitting the stuff was actually anti-climactic. Also, I was cursing the electronic applications at the beginning of the process, but at the beginning of the end of it I now realize that paper applications would probably have brought me to despair, and I would like to register my whole-hearted approval for the electronic versions.

Finally, it says something about the weight Princeton puts on GRE scores that there's not even a space on the application form to report them. I'm just saying.

What program at Princeton are you applying to?

[starlady]

East Asian Studies. They're all either EAS or history.

It can be odd where standardized test scores do and don't show up. You're never supposed to need it after you get into law school, but I actually had to put my LSAT score on one of my clerkship applications. So weird.

Congratulations on your epic to-do list (incidentally, yay legal pads! I picked up the habit from my dad, and agree on the comfort factor), and more importantly getting through applications. Good luck on those remaining! :o)

I hate applications. I remember mentally ranking schools based on the design of their websites. And I hate personal statements. The chair of our department recently confirmed that they're pretty much useless.

Oh good, I'm glad I spent so much blood, sweat and tears agonizing over the proper placement of commas, to say nothing of words, let alone content. XD

I too have a mental list of schools based on website design. It does not match my mental list of schools based on more consequential factors. At any rate, we'll see.

And yes, applications are awful.
