Off to DC
I’m off to the Diversity Workshop at Smith this weekend. The event is a day long info session at the school with chances to network with the admissions folks and current students. I feel like a know Smith pretty well already, but I’m looking forward to what other new info might be uncovered at the event. The event starts at 9 and ends at 4:30 so I’m sure there’s going to be lot of ground covered. Hopefully I’ll be able to incorporate some things from this trip into my essays.
If not for this trip, I’d probably be a miserable wreck at work. The excitement of not just visiting Smith, but also site seeing in DC has kept me motivated through the week. I’ve spent way too many hours, and way too much money, prepping for the trip: buying a new suit case (MLC Burrito by Pradagonia), printing my own business cards, buying a new suit. I still need to get my hair did and buy some other junk. After this trip, I have Broad next weekend. I still have to setup my trips for Owen and SC. Exciting.
My essays are finally coming along. I’ve gone through a couple of iterations for my Smith essays and I’m starting to work on the set for Broad. The fire needs to be turned up in the next couple of weeks because I want to get everything submitted by the end of the year. SC is due Dec 1 and Smith Dec 15. I have to also follow up with my recommenders, fill out my apps, and polish up the resume. Yikes, now that I think about it, I’m going to need to build a giant fire.
