What? I didn’t forget the blog this month. Youforgottheblogthismonth don’t look at me.
Look I’m applying for grad school right now, things are getting lost in the shuffle. That’s really the main life update tbh, I’m applying for grad school, it’s all I’m thinking about, I’m tedious about it if you’re my friend right now I’m sure. One of the schools is Princeton, it’s a lot of work but also less work than you think? At least, if your undergrad program was fucking great and had your senior project just literally be a grad school portfolio + a job portfolio. God, the program I went to was so good.
I haven’t had a lot of time for writing because of that and don’t expect that to change until the applications are done in another few weeks. I asked my mentor (ig I’m the kind of person who has mentors now) how he got into Princeton and he said he wrote them a 47-page letter/research paper explaining how they were doing everything wrong and he was going to fix it actually. So the bar is pretty high as it turns out. (For the record I’m not expecting to get into Princeton, but I do need to get funded for at least ONE of these programs so!)
The time I have had to write has been focused pretty exclusively on KS; it’s got my focus right now. Thanks very much to the people that have left me tips; you would not believe how much they help me have more time to write in the months I get them. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the tip jar page to know how you can make your tip go even further.
Stay warm as the weather is turning cold, everyone! I know my arthritis is already acting up; I feel like we’re in for a cold one this year. (I am not particularly good at weather predictions.)
