you think of Sara as your freaked-out anxiety-crazed friend, and not as your *friend*
I have started actual application procedures for CDSP. My favorite part of the online application is this:
Note when choosing a user name: Your user name will be part of your user id when your application is sent to an admissions office.
So I lost a good 15 minutes thinking of inappropriate user names.
I've requested my transcripts from Parsons, and now I'm working on my personal statement. So far, it's ARRRRRRGH!!!! What am I thinking???!!!?? but I'm planning to come up with something a bit more upbeat before I finalize the application.
Then I have to get people to write letters of recommendation, which is almost enough to make me just give up on this whole stupid idea. Here is the header of the recommendation letter request:
RECOMMENDER: Education at CDSP is geared primarily for Christian Ministry, both lay and ordained, in its great variety of forms. Please indicate in what context you know the applicant and give a realistic appraisal of the applicant, including both strengths and weaknesses as you see them. In the space below or on an additional page, please consider the following about the applicant:
1) imagination and openness to new ideas;
2) emotional maturity, stability and self-discipline;
3) potential for leadership;
4) ability to get along with others;
5) attitude toward authority.
I knew I shouldn't have been running around with scissors in my teeth, screaming Get Away From Me!!!!! at everyone who came into the office last week. I knew that would come back to bite me in the butt. Oh, wait, that didn't actually happen, that was just a fantasy sequence while I was working on the newsletter.
Sigh. I am seriously freaking myself out here.
