Famous Last Words: Getting it Together

This past week was a week of getting my life together. I had two presentations at the end of the week that I wasn't super prepared for, but went really well! It was a good weekend as I rewrote my Fulbright essays (AHHHH!) and I got hang out with my mom on Sunday. While I didn't have much time to do homework to prepare for this coming week, I still feel serene as I start this Monday.
However, as previously mentioned, I am working on my Fulbright application because it is due this Friday, October 6th. And I am freaking out. If this weren't for a class, I would be sharing some choice words. I'm scared as I finalize my application because not only am I applying for something that means a lot to me and would be so great, but it feels bigger than that. This is the most important thing I have ever applied to, both in terms of prestige and my own personal life. This could set me on a path that leads to greater things than if I do not get it. Honestly Fulbright is all I can really think about, and my school work is reflecting that. I am hoping that after October 6th, I will be able to refocus my priorities and get back to what's important in the here and now. We can only hope for the best!

It doesn't help that I am having some tension with my roommate recently, so I am hoping to resolve that going forward this week. Last week this tension was just an extra thing that was always weighing on me. So I really want to work this week on talking it out and being honest with her. Life is just a little bit harder when you and your best friend aren't on the best of terms.
