An Update

I'm sort of having a little bit of writer's block for this blog, plus school is taking up a lot of my time.

To fill you in:

My transcripts have finally arrived to Clemson! All I'm waiting on now is my last recommendation to be submitted to the school and then I can sit back, relax, and wait to see if I've been accepted or not.

I'm worried that I won't be accepted. I'm not worried about my application materials or never getting in to grad school, I'm just nervous that I will feel really disappointed in myself. Regardless of Clemson's decision, I've already promised myself that I won't give up on grad school. I legitimately do want to be an expert.

I have a "meeting" with a professor of mine this week to "talk about my future." This is a really great thing. [and also a really nerve wrecking thing]. I'm hoping that he will want to chat about grad school and I can bring up the fact that, for two of my applications, I still need another person to write my recommendations. In the post Recommendations I wrote that there are four possible professors that I would ask to write that last rec. In no particular order I listed him as #1 and a friend said he was the one I should pick. He's also the most intimidating, however nice, professor I've ever had. I will have to prepare for this "meeting."

A Question for my Readers

Do you have any tips for asking for recommendations?
