The Application Is In

This week I finally sat down and filled out my application for Arizona State University. I thought all I had to do was have my transcripts sent over from the community college. But, no! Because I filed late for my Associates Degree…like a few days late, I do not officially receive my degree until May. May! Because I don’t have my degree, ASU is asking to see my high school transcripts. High school? Does my high school still even have my transcripts? I called Mesa High, GO JACKRABBITS! and figured out how to pull my transcripts and sent them over.

Boy, does it feel weird to look back that far. High School was a lifetime ago. Like 19 years!!! I hate to disappoint ASU, but I am not the same person that those transcripts represent. Yet, I sent them anyway. I was assured they only needed them to show I graduated. Yep, class of 1995!

That’s not all this girl did this week. I also wrote several scholarship essays. It’s an interesting experience writing about how awesome you are, and how deserving you are of other people’s money. Can I just say that ASU is EXPENSIVE, holy cow! It’s not like I want to be a brain surgeon or anything.

I also researched agents this week.  After finding the ones I thought would fit my novel I sent out a couple query letters… cross your fingers. :)

Last but not least, I painted those blasted shelves. What’s that I hear, a round of applause? Well thank you. It took me long enough. I love how they turned out. I feel much more organized.

Overall, it’s been a very productive week. It only took me writing my last post to realize that it was time to get off the sofa and accomplish something already.
