Today is the red letter day. Not much unlike the red letter day in Alice in Wonderland where all the little oysters are going to be eaten....they were osyters, right? Not clams? In any case, today is my red letter day and i feel much like an oyster about to be eaten.

Today is the deadline of my Graduate School application. i wanted to avoid being scared about the fact of my reference letters possibly being the thing holding me back -- i gave my three professors PLENTY of time. i notified them and confirmed with them that they would write me a reference back in the middle of november. So out of three letters, required letters, how many have been submitted as far as my application's online profile is showing? ONE. One out of three. i wanted to avoid all of this stress but in the end, my application hinges on whether or not two of my favorite professors will get their letters in on time. Lastnight i sent out desperate emails to the final two - one of which, i hadn't heard from since the beginning of December. This morning when i logged into my email though, i finally had word from him. Apparently he just got back from Toronto and assures me that he hasn't forgotten about my letter and that since he is on the Graduate Committee that his letter WILL be in my portfolio before it is reviewed. i can only trust him, i suppose.

Oh, the stress.

It makes me want to cut off all my hair...if only i wasn't afraid of the phone. -sigh-
