Wow, but today was a busy day. Virtually no German studying occurred, but I did meet with Brown, give my three recommenders ALL FIVE of the recommendation forms for the grad schools that require them, and finish my statements of purpose for UCLA and Stanford.

For some reason, I felt a lot better about the whole grad school application process today. Not sure why, really; I just did. Maybe it was all the busy work and running around, so I didn't have time to think about it. But I don't think it's just that. I'm feeling more positive about it nowadays - talking to Brown and looking at the course descriptions was fun. (Gender and Politics in medieval Europe... how the secular world was viewed by different monastic groups... Anglo-Saxon!!! :) Now, as long as this lasts, I'll have very few problems. Trying to keep the chin up, and it's working.

Anyway, lots to do tomorrow (art history and german exams), so it's time to sleep.
