agreed... its ok now, but agree with alyss that the board needs downsizing...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yeah, it certainly wouldn't hurt to downsize a bit. We post mainly in two or three sections anyway...

we could indeed just strip out all government and have alyss as admin. I think that'd be fine.

Ugh, I haven't even started my essay yet, I'd really like to get all my apps out by the end of November (most of the deadlines are 1/1), because I'm switching guidance counselors yet again at the end of November (I'm on my third counselor in three years right now, my original counselor retired, and the one I had last year is on maternity leave, so her sub is leaving when she gets back, but since I haven't talked to her since last year, I'd really prefer that the sub, who is shockingly competent, be the person dealing with helping me get my apps out.)
So yeah. Basically, I'm screwed.

| QUOTE (winstonopia @ Sep 25 2007, 10:04 PM) | you've already done it... so shhhh
i'm in the middle of my college essay right now, matter of fact. so lame. so BS. so crappy. but how can you make a college essay not lame? it's impossible.
this application process sucks - i wish they could make it easier. |
I had to do my college essay as an English assignment (along with my Resume and Teacher Recommendation Request Letter). I actually like what I had as my first draft, but I think I needed to add more detail. The topics are lame and rehashed, sure, but you can make it work. What was your's about? I wrote about an experience that proved that diversity was important.
Oh and there ARE applications called 'Snap APPs' where you don't have to fill out an essay, resume, teacher recommendation, etc...I think you have to be selected by the college. I know Baylor sent me one that would've waived all of those...so that's helpful.
