Confessions of an Errant Mind

Well, after about two months of work, the final pieces of my grad school application (to Minnesota's Geography Dept.) were submitted on Wednesday. While I'm only applying here, I also had a couple of fairly involved fellowship applications (to the Javits Fellowship and the National Science Foundation). But I can definitely say the whole process helped me clarify both my reasons for pursuing grad school and what I'm interested in studying. Now it's just the waiting game--I probably won't hear much until the end of February on any parts of this. But it's a relief to have it done!
