The problem with school breaks is that time seems to run together. Every day seems to run together, and before you know it, it's a Monday when you could have sworn yesterday was Wednesday. Which means that today is Monday and my blog update is late. I am usually much more on top of things than this, and I apologize for the delayed post.
So this weekend was spent working on my essays for my abroad application, and let me tell you - writing these essays is harder than writing a seven-page paper analyzing a novel that I hardly understand. The prompts seem simple enough, and I know that I'm over thinking things, but I love to make a good impression through my writing. Not to mention, the one essay that I did completely finish, my dad made what felt like one thousand corrections. Apparently, I'm too enthusiastic, but if anybody has ever met me, they can tell you that enthusiastic, bubbly and excited is just who I am on a regular basis. When I have to talk about myself, I get even more enthusiastic because I can just be as enthusiastic as I please. So I had to tone down the enthusiasm, which didn't feel quite like me, but it still sounds great.
This past weekend, I also learned that the amazing woman who's been helping me through the application process, Bryn, is moving to China and leaving UT. While this is a bummer because I feel comfortable with Bryn and I feel comfortable e-mailing her with questions and concerns, I hope that she has an amazing time in China and that she does amazing things there. This means that I get a new adviser for study abroad, but I don't know who it is yet! When I do find out, I will be sure to inform you all how they are, of course. Until then, I'll just keep chugging along with applications.
In other news, one week from today, I begin Spring Semester classes! It's exciting, of course, but I am not looking forward to having to wake up earlier every day. I may hold off on updating next week until Monday night, so I'll have loads to talk about after classes.
Though it is a week late, Happy New Year, everyone! I do hope that your 2013 is off to an amazing start.
Until next time - Keep Calm and Brighton On!
