Well, today I realized that my UC Berkeley app is due in less than ten days, so I spent today's thesis period going over my UC application one more time. I still had to finish the activities and awards sections so I did that for a while. (I hate character limits with a passion!!)
I also opened my ApplyTexas Essay A and tried to cut it down to 500 words so that I can use it for the second personal statement on the UC app. So far, not much luck: it's still more than 300 words over. It'll get there, though.
I still wish I'd been more productive, but I was feeling so sick this morning that I actually had to rest my head on the table for a while before I could pull myself together to actually get some more work done.
All I really have left to do for the UC app at this point is copy and paste the second essay once I can get it down to meet the limit. After that, I'll need to make some serious progress on the PACT statement of motivation (yeah, I'm still applying, but only because I've been advised to keep my options open) and the Rice supplement. I need to write a few more of those short essays (including "Why Rice") and have my teachers look over them. Then, after my parents read them, I'll be able to submit.
All of this needs to happen by December 15th. I also have a ton of choir stuff going on that week (Open House on the 10th, concert on the 13th, lots of rehearsals before then) so I'm not sure how I'll be able to manage my time. I'm hoping to make some serious progress over Thanksgiving break, though - I think I'm just going to hole myself up in my room and type away at these essays all day. Hopefully then, I'll be able to make some significant progress.
