SKEWWWWW! I've noticed, I've noticed--I feel bad for judging DW a bit because I'm a snob and was extremely loyal to LJ but ahah it's fuckery is amazing. To be honest? I feel like a lot of people don't have the patience for journals in general anymore this is the age of tumblr and whatnot, instead of doing all the complicated html and such. Which...makes me really sad? I feel like we miss out on a lot more but I can't really talk I've got a twitter app on my phone and it's loads more convient and less cumbersome and I've taken refuge in the simplicity. Not the same though. Never the same.
It's nerve-wracking right? I'm trying to motivate myself on completion if only because in the back of my mind, I keep trying to self-sabotage myself--the temptation to just skip all this work and enter the workforce is pretty great, but I know, the job market for my degree is laughable so I must go on. You have no idea how relieved I was to read your response because I'm like super stressed, it's amazingly difficult to just remind myself 'hey, you're not THAT bad off even if you don't have THAT many extracurriculars'.
Oh I've already sent in an application to my alma mater, the University of Texas at Arlington, but unfortunately I don't know if they have all my documents, I was hoping to email tonight but my computer's been on the fritz so I'll have to do it first thing in the morning (read:in a few hours). I'm also sending out apps to University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Chicago, I wanted to go apply to Northwestern University as well since they're International Relations program is top-notch according to a professor of mine, a former Sovietologist, but unfortunately the app fee is killing me since Student loans and a fucking car payment are around the same time and jfc, why do I owe so many people money, I still have to help my family out with bill paying so it's just...it's incredibly annoying I guess? Because that school is amazing but I can't app cause I don't have the fee, really? just the crazy thought at the back of my mind--what if I don't get in, what if that was the ONE school I could've gotten in.
I took the LSAT, so I'm trying to compare it to that but al;sdkjf that makes me feel a lot better reading. I'm not that great at math myself so I'm worried about that for the most part, I haven't started studying yet and I'm taking it on the Dec. 10th, I hope you don't mind me asking, but did you have any websites you used to practice on? I'm picking up a few books from the used bookstore sometime this weekend but I'd love some recs from someone who took it already.
