Alive?

The crazy rollercoaster of the application cycle continues. Things are crazy at work and I am not getting as much time as I want on my apps, with people leaving the company, there is need to transition knowledge and with limited time left I cannot take time off to either work on my apps or goof off as is my want normally.

I have been putting in the hours, and my Wharton and Cornell essays are almost up to the mark. They would be, but for my bright idea to get it proof read one more time. I got a host of corrections from this super conscientious friend of my wife's and I want to incorporate them in my essays, just because the advice is so good. I am a little wary though of giving the impression that I had a professional write my essays! (No they are not that good, but a guy can always dream can't he? :) ), I should be done with my essays by tomorrow for Wharton, and hopefully will upload them to the website and forget about it. This weekend is reserved for filling out the application forms and frantic phone calls to recommender' to upload their recommendations. I hope they have done a good job, and despite assurances on that count, I can't get myself to believe that until I hear from the AdCom.

PowerYogi should be in town this weekend, so I plan to meet him for dinner, I will be sending out invites to the bloggers from the bay area to join us, in case I forget in this mad rush (that I call life) please send me an email to let me know you are free Friday night.

Planning to wrap up the Wharton essays tonight, send some stuff to my recommender that she asked for and proof some of my essays for other schools. Sounds like too much work? Not really, there are just cosmetic changes and don't require too much thinking, just trying to ensure the flow is correct.
