Statement of Purpose

It is amazing how I find time to blog when avoiding other things. For the past week I have been writing and editing my statement of purpose for my grad school application. This is also the 3rd time this week I have written on my blog. Considering I normally go months without writing, I think there might be some correlation.

Anyway, I'm close to being done and will hopefully send it in tomorrow. Then I can get back to real life stuff... you know, laundry, dishes, going to the gym, etc. Now don't get me wrong. I haven't been plowing away at this 24/7 for the last week. I write a bit, edit, get sick of looking at it, and then maybe watch an episode of Psych or the Office... you know, for a treat.

One great thing about this is that this will be one of the first times in my life when I haven't waited until the last minute to do something! As a unashamed procrastinator, I think something might be wrong with me.... the application isn't due until April 1. I think the real motivation that I am really looking forward to being able to study something I am passionate about and will do my best to make it happen.

I keep trying to come up with some reward to motivate me to finish. I thought about getting a massage or facial, but after many days of pushing myself to sit down and write, I've realized that just being accepted to the program is the best motivation!

Not that I'd have a problem with a facial, too! ;)
