I needs help!!
I have to type up two personal essays (both short thank goodness - 150 words for one application, 250 for the other) on my academic and career goals, as well as why I deserve these scholarships above and beyond other people.
Somehow I think "Lurkers support in email" and "I am pretty" aren't gonna cut it. I've never written these before.
Gmail is telling me that due to technical difficulties, my chat response may not have been sent, Sox. Just so you know, I'm trying out the Fluevogs today, in an effort to convince myself they fit. If not, they're yours for the bargain price of $30.
What does the actual prompt say, Aims? In times like this, I've found paper, a pen and writing down whatever comes into my head on the subject down is my friend. Usually after a page or two I've got some good stuff to work with. You might start with thinking about the trip through academia you've already had that got you to these goals and where your mind changed about things.
my chat response may not have been sent, Sox.
that was me, all day yesterday.

yippe! new shoes! Um. I hope they fit you though. Except when I don't.
Aims, Sparky is wise. I can read it when you're ready, if'n you want.
ION, my minion? who I'm prepping to take over for me part time in the not so distant future and full time at some point? Isn't checking her work (to the broken-links level) and is breaking all sorts of file naming conventions. Not helping the gronk at all.
Plus I had my first "yes, I'm going part-time by choice, not because I'm being pushed out" conversation yesterday. Hoo-boy. I'm sure going to look dee-licious on the resume. Now 100% more confusing to HR departments everywhere.
Oh! I meant to share this yesterday, and I forgot.
I have lost all of my good lipsticks, and I'm in want of a good lipstick for a couple of reasons that really don't need to be gone into at this point. And really, does a girl need a reason for a good lipstick? So, I was a good Bitch and went to Sephora yesterday, and they were very helpful. So, we found a couple of options, and I went to try them. They took me to the little area with all of the applicators and stuff. I grabbed an applicator, and it didn't work very well, but whatever. I figured out which lipstick I wanted and left.
It occurred to me later that I used the mascara applicator. To try on lipstick. You can take away my Bitch card now.
Wow. I killed the board with my disturbing and unBitchlike makeup practices.
Hee! vw, that sounds like something I'd do, except for the part where I never buy makeup.
Say, any Bitch mommies want to give me reusable swim diaper advice? We have D in an Imse Vimse right now, but the fit isn't great. It's okay for our little inflatable backyard pool, but I wouldn't take him to a public pool in it...it looks too loose around the legs to actually, um, contain anything. How true to size are iPlay's swim dipes? Anyone tried out the One Step Ahead no-name-brand ones?
Jess - Em had one of the Target reusable swim suits and it worked great and washed up nicely. I can't remember if they had boy ones.
Target! I never thought to check there - thanks for the tip.
It's 93° right now. My classroom is not air conditioned, and my students are taking a required assessment. Brutal.
