<p>Hey, just thought that it would be fun to talk about our trials and eventual triumph of writing our essays.</p>
<p>I just spent 2 hours writing an essay, was on a role so I didn't save at all, just kept typing, tried to save and realised that my comp was out of cache (?) and couldn't function at all. My comp (hand me down from my sis) has a problem, after 3-8 hours of usage, it becomes unusable and no function will process. It just had to happen while I was typing my Wellesley essay. I am dead tired and in disbelief that I sacrificed 2 hours of my sleep for vapourware. On a 'high' note, I now know exactly what I want to write. However, 1 and a half pages for 1 paragraph does seem excessively long :)</p>
<p>Oh and I do have a new laptop in my room, fresh and unopened. I just cannot be bother/do not have the time, to invest 5-6 hours to set up and redownload everything all over again. Argh I have to write 3-4 essays and short answers, study for SAT II and study for my country's final exam, the cumulation of 2 years of study. Argh.</p>
<p>Awwww, man, that really sucks about the computer malfunction. I'm pretty much terrified of that happening to me, so I'm one of those manic-save-er people. :) </p>
<p>To be honest, I haven't touched the supplement essays...I've been trying to get a Common App one that I really like. I've got two that are up there, but I'm having a huge amount of trouble deciding between them. Not to mention that I'm taking pretty much the hardest senior schedule of anyone in my high school and have boatloads of homework...you know, the same old CCer deal. </p>
<p>On the plus side, having lots of homework makes writing the college essays and filling out forms look kind of fun, as odd as that is. So nelle, you're not alone with the feeling swamped. ;)</p>
<p>Haha! Glad that you are having fun from writing the essays. Btw have anyone tried to sign up for the off-campus interview? I signed up in december, did not get any response, tried again today and the link is not working...</p>
<p>i did during the summer
and i thought they forgot or something...cause the form said "in 1 or 2 weeks"
but my contact emailed me like 2 days ago, and i'm doing i this saturaday <em>squeals</em>
so you should get something in your email inbox sometime</p>
