View Full Version : Lack of Activity: Sorry From Me

Just wanted to let all of you know that I'm sorry for the lack of activity from me as of late. I think I bit off far more than I can chew this quarter, and figure you all should know what is going on.

I'm applying for graduate school this quarter, which is a truly difficult process. It's not remotely the same as applying for regular college (undergraduate) because you have more responsibility as far as trying to "sell" yourself to the universities you are applying to. Not to mention there are some tests that must be taken, etc. So currently I'm studying for the GRE (Graduate Records Exam), which is a computer-adaptive test, writing my Statement of Purpose (Personal Statement) and rewriting it over and over, narrowing down my choices, getting application materials, and getting my Letters of Recommendation from professors (a rather difficult process, to be honest, because it takes a lot of guts to ask your professors for such things).

On top of that I'm working on SBS Mag, doing book reviews, homework for three literature course (one of which is a graduate-level course), and working on two magazines on campus.

So, I'm busy, but still around, and doing what I can to be active. I just wanted you all to know that I'm not dead and I haven't abandoned you guys or anything. I intend to make next quarter a "lighter" quarter. Mostly because I'll be done with applying for grad school and pretty much done with my BA anyway (I can pretty much graduate right now, if I wanted to).

So, if you have questions about whether or not I've lost limbs or something, feel free to ask. You can also question whether I am still sane or not, because that's a valid thing to question :P

Who said being an admin wasn't a difficult job? haha. Don't worry, Shaun, we survive without you.

It's okay Shaun. Though I am glad you are alive like so many must be wondering about me these days.
Are you sane?

Don't worry, we wouldn't let YWO fall!

My mother went back to school to get her graduate degree so I know how busy you get!
