I'm On Time With Everyone, I Have Very Bad Posture

ahahaha. some of these grad school applications are due by Dec. 5 and I still haven't asked any professors to write me recommendations. I get near panic attacks every time I even think about it. I haven't started the applications either

Would you have issues asking them by email?

That's even worse for me (like the waiting for an answer part just often makes it that much worse). Like originally I was planning on doing that and I just kept half writing emails and deleting them. But I did set up appointments today to talk to a couple of them in person so that's a start.

That's so interesting. For me doing that in person would be much worse, because if there's something i can't deal with it's being rejected ... and more importantly my face being visible at the moment of rejection, haha.

Good on you for making appointments!!! Good luck! Sending good vibes your way.

Like for me the anticipation is so much worse -- because the longer I wait the more I obsess about it and make things even worse in my head. Rejection in person sucks, but then at least it's over and I can move on. The not knowing part of things drives me insane.

Thank you!! I finally hit the point where I was like "okay, I can't really afford to just keep panicking about things..."

I do know it's not, even though certain people in my life act like it is.
