I’m going to be one of those people who never makes it… or at least that’s what i’m afraid of. but then again aren’t we all afraid of failure?

My first wait is over, and it’s back to finishing recommendations, letters of intent and a PDF portfolio then of course more waiting. I didn’t get into Carnegie Mellon’s grad program. Needless to say I am beyond bummed, but it is what it is, I guess I always knew it was a bit of a long-shot.
I strongly dislike waiting, especailly when I feel like I have to put stuff on hold until I get an answer. I was told last night I can’t put my life on hold while I wait to hear on an acceptance to Grad school… but really what else am I supposed to do? If, and that’s a big if, I get in I would start in the fall which means most likely the monday following my brother’s wedding which means I would need to move to wherever atleast a week to two weeks prior to the wedding… I know I am getting way ahead of myself but these are the worries I have…
My portfolio website through squarespace.com :) Thoughts and feedback gladly accepted and encouraged. Thank you.
wrote letter of intent and updated my resume. i’m going to call it a night and look at it all again tomorrow on a good night’s sleep and have some colleagues review for me as well. I am feeling good, because of all the support I have. So what will be will be. Finalizing my portfolio site tomorrow night :)
until next time. Be Happy.
In the past hour and a half I have created a squarespace account for my portfolio website, sketched designs for said site, checked e-mail which received notification that 1 of my 3 recommendations have been received by Carnegie Mellon, eaten some honey nut spins and a pb&j. Now I am reworking my brand and getting ready to tweak said site before searching for a domain provider because I don’t want to submit a portfolio with .squarespace.com … so far feeling good but anxious….
more updates throughout today.
The past few months I have really questioned myself and my abilities, more that I normally do, and as a result I have drug my feet on finishing the application process for grad school. I had a mini melt down this morning and freaked out about my future and in the end, ended up taking off from work updating my resume and trying to track down my recommendations. Now I am working on my personal statement and Sunday will be dedicated to the dreaded portfolio… I have to do this everything is due to my top choice school on the 15 and I want to be completely done by the 13th for good measure. I hope I can get all my references done by then! wish my luck! I’ll keep you posted.
Till next time. Be Happy.
My computer has crapped out. Trying to stay positive but feeling lost
Just wanted to give a quick update…
Recommendations could be so complicated.
Totally scrambling more now than I was with the portfolio (not that I’m where I need to be with that either….)
Crap.
thanksgiving has come and passed and dec 1 is quickly approaching and i am not happy with where my portfolio stands but i need to submit something. I will be slaving over my portfolio for the next few days hoping it will be decent enough to get an acceptance letter…
Until next time. Be Happy.
