Beating the deadline

Posted by twinklyblue on January 18, 2010

I became an anti-social in the last party that I attended simply because I was so panicked and stressful in writing my master’s admission essay and research plan proposal.  The night before I went to Tokyo for the said gathering, I was informed through my googling that the research plan that I was writing is comparable to a mere college project proposal, even worst, that of a high school one.  So you wouldn’t believe my dismay while trying to write and re-write what I wrote during that entire week.  Yes, indeed, cramming is really bad.

At one point, I told myself to postpone the submission and move it to the next deadline.  But then again, I have been working on the papers since late last year (except the essay part) so I should be pursuing it, right?  Add to that, my time is running out here, so I really really need to put that into consideration.

Despite having doubts on this, plus the quality of the paper in which I myself isn’t in approval to, I will still try to pass (after receiving the final certification I needed from back home).  And then, the rest will be in God’s hands, to pass or not to pass.  Anyway, I told myself, there’s still other schools to apply to.  If this fails, I still gained experienced right?  Plus, no more rewriting of essay for next time, I can just submit what I wrote before, plus major enhancements.. hahahaha..

That’s for now.  Good luck to me!

    Hi Mei,

    Thanks for leaving a comment in the Pinoy Scholars Blog. We are looking for writers, not only those who already have a scholarship, but also those aspiring to get one. I believe their story is also worth sharing- the excitement, worries, and joy of the process.

    If you are interested, please get in touch with me so I can send you an invitation through WordPress.

    ‘Hear from you soon!

    Andrew
