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!
