Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I'm stressed out and depressed because of the application process.  I'm going to do minimal things tomorrow as it's a full day for me, but I'll sneak some comics, at least, in there.   Maybe more. 

Friday I have off the morning, so I'll start writing my statement of purpose - basically the essay you write to get in.   The way I write is I sit and think about things for a long time, then it just comes pouring out, so...   I've thought and thought and writing it should be easy.  

I need to find out how to get some GRE scores from 2012, get my transcripts - which I can do on my college website, then I need to ask for a third letter of recommendation.   Other than that, and filling out the actual application, I'm good. 

So I need to do this by March third.  I sent off a question asking about the test scores tonight, so I can't do anything about that until I get an answer.   I figure that means that tomorrow, I'll give myself a day off, and on Friday I'll write the first draft of the statement of purpose and set it aside for a day before I proofread.  Then I'll ask someone to proofread for me, and then I'll have, quite frankly, minor things to worry about.   

That being said, I'm trying to take better care of myself.  I've been eating crap - Tiramisu that was gifted to the family because it wasn't very good, and my sister knew I might eat it anyway - and on Monday I had mud pie for dinner.   But I'm going to get more serious about eating more salads.   I also did Just Dance for twenty minutes on Monday and today.   I may not be able to do it tomorrow, but I'll do twenty to forty minutes after finishing the statement of purpose on Friday.   

For now, I haven't really eaten much today, so I'm going to make a salad.  (Tomatoes, apples, vinegar balsamic - fig or orange - and olive oil along with apricot white stilton that's all crumbly!)   Between the exercise and the general just eating salads, my pants are falling off my newer, skinnier ass.   It's a problem, and I've been moaning about it.   I refuse to break in new jeans.  I hate that!  I also refuse to buy new jeans.   It's a good problem to have, but still a problem!   

Once that's done, I'll Jeopardy.  I also have to catch up on a couple reviews, but I keep reading while I wait for pages to load here, and then, oops, I have more reviews to write!   I've decided to do happy things: reading, watching, etc, so I've started with Midnighter and Apollo number four - which literally takes place in Hell :/   Still, it looks like Midnighter is about to kick some ass, and that's always a happy thing!
