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.
