<p>So, for three weeks I thought I had THE topic, THE essay, and I was like.."Yessssss."</p>
<p>And then last night, at say, oh, 11:30 or so, I realized I hated my essay and it was superficial and unrepresentational and completely scrapped the entire thing.</p>
<p>Oiya. </p>
<p>Anyone else fretting and working for last minute changes on their essays? And not even changes but completely topic change? </p>
<p>I think I need to start a support group. There's so much I want to communicate but I don't want to do myself an injustice by not fairly taking the pen to the paper.</p>
<p>I know the feeling. I sat at my computer for three consecutive days during fall break--and wrote a single paragraph. </p>
<p>I'm not quite finished with all my essays. I actually haven't even started Essay One--but I have a pretty good outline and a good idea of what I want to do (I'm actually about to start it now). I'm going to feel a lot better once I get the app out the door and on its way to DC in the next couple of days.</p>
<p>Hey manderz...i feel your oiya. For my essay one, i think it's good, but I'm not quite sure it's totally me. I'm sticking with it though, because my essay 2 is really good. If you have another essay that can still sound unsuperficial and more representational, I don't know if you have to scrap an entire essay. Good luck.</p>
<p>Let's see... I haven't written either essay yet, and I haven't outlined. That will all be tomorrow. Then again, I'm the kind of person that can sit down and pop out a good essay pretty quickly (normally, anyways). Hopefully that will happen tomorrow. When are you last-minute-applicants sending out your stuff to get it postmarked by Nov 1?</p>
<p>I think it has to be there Nov. 1--not postparked. If so, I'm going to try to have mine sent out Monday (Tuesday at the very latest).</p>
<p>Thank God for Express Mail!</p>
