Halfway Point

So, my Sloan and Yale SOM applications are done.  I finally completed the video response portion of the Yale application two nights ago... that was fun.  I think I sat in front of the computer for about an hour practicing.  In the end, it wasn't too bad.  I was pretty nervous on the first question.  The second the clock started counting down and the camera started rolling, I felt my heart rate jump.  But by the third question I was feeling a bit more comfortable.  I just hope I didn't say anything too stupid :)

Well, I have just a couple more applications left for round one.  Just putting the final touches on my essays.  All my recommendations are in, so it feels nice to have that stress be gone.  A couple more weeks and it will be on to interview prep.  Hopefully be then I will be able to blog a bit more and be able to give an in-depth recap of my round one experience.  But as of right now, I feel a bit guilt if I don't spend every possible minute working on my applications.  I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.  But as Metallica would say, I just hope "the light at the end of [my] tunnel isn't just a freight train coming [my] way."

Good luck to everyone else out there finishing up their round one apps!
