Almost there

One more final push and I'll be done with my first set of grad school applications.

All I need to do is:

-check in with one of my recommendation writers
-finish the last 1/2 page of my personal statement (ie the scary part of what is left)
-meet with the resume adviser & finish that
-check over the application form

What I have done:
-contacted individuals for recommendations
-gone to the program's open house & met with various faculty
-written 3+ pages of my personal statement & gone through 3 revisions
-begun resume & found someone to help me perfect it


I honestly don't know which has been more frightening to me personally - actually ASKING people to recommend me OR writing the personal statement.

Either way I am finally on the home stretch after years of fear and procrastination!

Hungry-Girl Scares Me....

Perusing through her database (for a good turkey noodle soup recipe as I will be having leftovers galore...) and came upon this:

Dear Soupster, I love soup and eat a LOT of it. But I've often wondered the same EXACT thing. Like when I'm eating a canned soup that is supposed to only have two grams of fat in it, and I see these little circles of what appear to be oil floating on top. I will say to myself, ARE THOSE CIRCLES THE ACTUAL TWO FAT GRAMS FLOATING RIGHT THERE ON TOP? Then I remove them (because they are weird and scary) and eat the soup. Those oily spots aren't necessarily "bad" -- they're just a little gross and likely have some fat content, so they can be worth removing. If there seems to be a lot of oily gunk in your bowl, you can just scoop it off with a spoon and get rid of it. Easy to do, and you'll save some fat and calories. Luckily, those oily circles often float to the top of the bowl and are easy to dispose of. Good riddance!

If this is how she reacts to tag-along fat, I wonder how she manages to take her fish oils every day......if she even does.
