two posts, one day.

I know when I'm getting stressed when I start to have mind-barfs on a mind-clearing walk, while magazine browsing, while sending an e-mail to a professor:

"Honestly, I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed with the new additions to my application stack. My list has grown from a list of 3 to a list of 7 since opening up programs to out-of-state schools. On one hand, I am very excited for the possibility of studying away from home, for venturing out and having room to grow on my own, and having the opportunity to develop away from everything that's familiar. On the other hand, I am scared to consider each school--each a different city, much (much) colder than here. Of course, my application to these programs doesn't guarantee my admission, nor does an acceptance to the programs require enrollment on my part, but I am starting to feel really stressed. Is this normal?"

MESSAGE SENT.
