#transfer applications

I’ve been a little neglectful of…well really all my responsibilities lately.

BUT my common app is done (besides essays) and I’m doing well in all my classes so far.

I promise I’ll come back with a more substantive post soon but this is all I have in me for now.

Lordy it’s been awhile. Well for my three loyal followers I’m here with the update.

1. I wrote a whopping eight drafts of my main essay. I had a really hard time writing a compelling essay that struck a balance between showing and telling. HUGE props to my family for all the editing. Especially my brother who let me cry and then dove right back in.

2. I really thought all my applications would be done before March first. I was incorrect

3. I’ve submitted 3 of my 6 applications!!

4. Fall semester ended as it often does in a bit of a sputter. I also worked on a social media project for a company I’ve worked for before. Things went relatively well except that the boss and I have some fundamental differences that we can’t seem to get past.

5. Spring semester is just about half over and rolling smoothly. I’m in a math class for the first time since high school. Luckily it’s a class I’ve already taken.

6. I got a part time job and am a certified grocery goddess.

Best laid plans… !

After a few rather frustrating phone calls yesterday I’ve had to cancel my registration at the schools I was planning to take the bulk of my credits at this semester.

After some harried searching I’m registered for 6 credits and have been given a bonus couple days of summer because classes don’t start til the 31st.

It’s not really what I wanted or what I’d planned (and I love a good plan) but it’ll be good enough to keep me occupied for a little bit each day.

Good news 2 followers! I finished the very bad internship so now we can commence with planning for transferring and the new school year.

I’m taking 11 credits at two different places (11 total not 11 at each yikes) as a non-matriculates student after which I will more than likely cap out both my credits I’m allowed to take before I matriculate and credits I care to take above the transfer limit.

On the transfer front I’ve made this handy dandy spreadsheet as well as one to track my application progress

I’m not really in the business of being secretive so here’s everything splayed out including notes about where I already applied as a freshman.

I’ve been struggling a lot with this decision to transfer to be entirely honest. As a student who has progressed through a little over half a bachelors degree, it’s been hard prioritizing my own happiness over just pressing through and finishing undergrad.
