my favorite time of year

Yesterday I got in a parking-lot-rage verbal altercation and the end result was my car getting keyed by some dickwad stranger who got away. Thankfully my car is so junky I initially wasn't even sure if it'd actually gotten keyed or not. But the entire incident put me in a horrible mood, as you can imagine.

But today I found the perfect pair of boots to complete my halloween costume...for $7, in my size, in the absolute most perfect color. It was a Halloween miracle! My favorite holiday never lets me down. Finally, something FUN to look forward to this fall!

Finally.

I PRESSED SUBMIT.
one down, two to go

Once upon a time....

Most of the comments I'm receiving from people who have been proof-reading my career-goals essay say that it lacks creativity. But I wonder how creative I can possibly be with my snore-inducing technical career history, and equally tranquilizing career goals? I don't think my essay would neccessarily bore any admissions committee to death--but a normal person, yes, probably beyond the grave.

It's difficult to take my helpful friends' advice lightly as I respect them all (an English PHD candidate, a law-school student, and a freelance journalist) and trust their essay-writing skills much more than my own, but at the same time, none are applying to business school nor know much about it. So I really don't know what type of creativity they're looking for...something gimmicky? A humorous anecdote about my glamourous IT career? It's hard to infuse personality into an essay prompt that asks strictly for career history and future career goals, as I think I'm a pretty damn interesting, well-rounded gal, but it's hard for that to be reflected in such a limited essay.

GAH.
