Application Stress!

So I already submitted my application to the CSU IP (International Programs), right? Yesterday in the mail I received a separate application to Waseda itself. Nobody mentioned that there was a separate Waseda application! (I should have figured, but since no one breathed a word about it, I kind of took it for granted that I might have to fill out another for Waseda itself.)

And now I'm all freaked out because this is Waseda we're talking about, with their fancy forms that need to be typed on or neatly printed, and I now also need to find a typewriter. In addition, I have to write a three page essay, argh! I know that all I need to do is combine and rewrite the multiple essays that I've already done for IP and NSEP, but I'm still nervous. I'm also working on getting a passport since I've never traveled ever. I'm researching online all the details, and it doesn't look too difficult. I just need to make sure to do this quickly!

So I'm just a tad bit stressed out at the moment. Thank God that I took a lighter courseload than usual this semester so that I could focus on applying to study
abroad.

Oh, yeah, I submitted the NSEP Boren Undergrad Scholarship application. I'm crossing my fingers on that one!
