Random Post While Reading Apps.

Random Post While Reading Apps. Im sitting at my desk in my robe right now. Im on my 5th cup of coffee. I ate some Count Chocula. Nice visual. For those not familiar with the life of the Admissions Counselor at MIT, here it is: We get applications, we get a lot of applications. We then need to read those applications and since we have so many to read, we often find it more efficient to do it at home. Thats why Im here. So, Im taking a break because I need to post something. The blogs have been dormant for a few days but for good reason. Have you read Lydias post? Get on it here. I hope when youre done, you realize, that whatever youve prioritized in your life, none of that is more important than your health. I also hope you realize that if you need help, there are good people out there who are willing to help no strings attached. What else is going on around here? Lets see. I have four windows open: 1.) One has an EA application Im reading. (Hes an interesting guy big into Chess.) 2.) Another is TextWrangler which I use to take notes about prospective students Im reading. (And write this.) 3.) The third is Chrome, where Im now searching around for a new text editor that supports my retina display resolution. (recs?) 4.) The fourth is also Chrome where Im doing some research about my India trip. Im going next week. Nice little trip to Mumbai for 4 days, Delhi for 2 days, and Gujarat for about a week. (GFs family background.) You might ask why Im going to India for such a short amount of time? Well, the answer is that taking vacation in the peak of application reading season is about the silliest thing an Admissions Counselor can do. Its a long story. Ok, I need to get back to reading. I have a lot of apps to read so do me a favor. Be yourself. I dont want to read your grandmas essay that sounds like it should be entered in a fiction contest. The horses shimmering mane glistened with sea spray as we galloped along the edge of the pink sand the concerns of the world blowing through my hair, never to be reacquired. (This isnt real, I just totally made this up, but you get the point.) Whats wrong with, I love horses. We have one named Ted. Ted and I get along great because we both like the beach? I guess this is just a question of style. If the first example is more your speed then by all means go for it. I meant it when I said I wanted you to be yourself. See you later, Labs
