I have finally submitted my business school application, and I'm caught somewhere between extreme relief and utter terror. There is suddenly a huge weight put on macroeconomics. It is the only thing standing between me and an acceptance letter. The first midterm is tomorrow, and instead of studying I am sitting here blogging. Yes, I know; shame on me. I've studied for hours, and I think I just have to be done and hope it goes well.
Aside from my fear of econ, the application terrifies me because I don't really know what I want to do with my life. When I was little this was a simple question with a simple response. I wanted to be Batman. Too bad I realized the "man" part of being Batman was anotomically impossible for me. Now I think that I might be able to settle for Wonder Woman. I mean, she does have actual super-powers. How cool would it be to be able to fly? Until I realize this dream, I guess I'll just have to figure out a career in the real world.
On a completely unrelated note, I absolutely love this video for Obama:
"Yes We Can"

Both parts of your post relate to me as well. Just 30 minutes ago i submitted my business application too. For me, accounting is my last pre-req class and all of a sudden it feels like the spotlight is on me for all those tests/assignments. To think that this is just the application part too, let alone what I have to achieve if I get in. Who do you have for macro? I had rick last semester, and I think I know a couple people who have him now that are studying for a midterm. I also went to the Obama rally this week, where they showed that video and it really was well done and inspiring. "yes we can" pops randomly in my head now as I go to class. It is a hope for the country that is worth having.
I also know what you mean. I'm not trying to get into business school, but pharmacy school. So, for me, I have to do well in my core science classes, because most schools actually take the gpa of just the science classes. It puts a lot of pressure on, especially if the grades come from only three exams.
Kinda off-topic, but did anyone use the Writing Center? We teach classes on writing these letters, and then there's the one on one tutoring. I (and other tutors) have read tons of these letters in the past couple years.
I took my business application essay to the writing center. It was helpful, especially since personal essays are difficult for me.
