Not a Perfect Simile

In an e-mail to Boss 1 today, I wrote:

I'm going to go home and focus on planning for Japan rather than freaking out about grad school applications. It's like being Indiana Jones and taking the Leap of Faith in The Last Crusade and being like "Ohgod ohgod I'm gonna die what if I'm not faithful enough ...Yay it's a bridge! I'm not dead! Oh wait it's super skinny must use these little pebbles so I don't die getting to the little cave where that knight of the round table is because I need to find the Holy Grail and then make it all fizzy on Sean Connery's belly. No okay okay just going to focus on getting across the stupid bridge!"

I'd like to think of the Holy Grail as finishing the grad school application process or maybe getting accepted by good grad schools and choosing one, but I guess in this scenario those things are represented by Sean Connery not dying.

Either way I'm awesome.

It's Official!

Northwestern University
University of Illinois - Chicago (M only)
The Art Institute of Chicago (T only)

Now, to prepare materials for our professors so they can write recommendations! @.@
