Good things happen in 3's too!, ya know

OK so last post's little freak out, I'm pretty sure that was stress, no sleep, and Amp induced. I now know not to drink that many energy drinks and attempt to communicate with people at the same time. It's a bad idea.

Anyway, some very exciting things have happened since last post....

1.) Paper Palooza was a success! I finished my independent study paper...34 pages of it thank you very much! And got an A on it...way to go research!

2.) I Graduated! Wooo Hooo! Yep, Saturday May 7th 2011, I received my B.S in Psychology, counseling concentration with Minors in French and Women's Studies. Does that make me an eligible bachelorette? Ha ha. If EMU is looking, I'm definitely eligible!  I guess this means I'm no longer psych undergrad, but oh well the name will remain the same until grad school happens

3.) Personal statement and CV have been written and are DONE! Par-Tay! I know, it's too exciting for words...I'll just take this short dance party break right now...




Yes that was 3 minutes and 47 seconds of me jumping like a nut! And apparently this song's music video is an epic chase scene...fitting. My personal statement was finished last night/this morning. I decided last night that I needed to get it done today. So, I submitted my application for Eastern Michigan and paid the app fee to motivate myself. Then I figured since I had been writing a lot by hand lately I'd start writing out the parts I was going to keep last night, figuring why wait. Well 15 minutes into writing it just hit me what I needed to do to connect it all and cut out the parts that needed to go. I was typing for no more than an hour and it was done. Plus I had it proof read last night, then sent it and my finished CV (also finished earlier yesterday) off to Eastern Michigan.

Then this morning I e-mailed everyone who said they'd give me recommendations. The President got back to me right away, she always does. No word yet from the other two, which slightly worries me...but no negativity in this post, just awesomeness!


I haven't felt this relaxed and at ease in a while. It's like the weight of the world was just lifted off me.

Now I just need to finish my History of Witches paper (I asked for an extension/ incomplete) and return these library books next week because they are SO overdue. And I guess I should tweak my personal statement a little for Towson...you know like take out how much I love Eastern Michigan and how awesome I think they are and which faculty at EMU I'd like to work with...they might appreciate that...
