Yes, it takes forever to get one of these, but it's worth it because it's so original and cool. Make a donation to get a color one. The only thing I can find off about mine is that it still says I'm from San Francisco, though I changed my "location" to Northridge years ago. And who's from Mesa, AZ? It said that under Peep's Turf.
| You Are Strength |
 You represent both fiery energy and steadfast will. You are innocent and naive - yet unafraid and undaunted. Perhaps you don't have the most powerful physical strength... But your mental powers make up for any amount of muscle. Your fortune: Lately, you have been a pillar of ethics and moral strength. And while things may be difficult, your faith in yourself will come through. You may need to conquer the animalistic nature of yourself or others, with gentle force. Although this may seem like the darkest hour for you, victory is near. |
Problem: I need to get at least two references for this National Security Education Program scholarship I'm applying to. It's an excellent scholarship; the essay had me stressing left and right, but I finally got it done and submitted tonight; it got forwarded to Prof. Hirota (did I mention that she's the new campus representative?). Anyway, I already asked Prof. Takase for two references for both Tokiwa and Waseda, and I'm no longer in classes with Prof. Blumenkrantz, who gave me one reference for Tokiwa, or Prof. Salido, who gave me the other reference for Waseda. Asking Dr. Lopez (the International Programs director) or Prof. Hirota would be a conflict of interest, so what do I do?
This is what the reference form asks: 1. This reference is prepared with the understanding that my comments will / will not (circle one) be held in confidence.
2. How long and in what capacity have you known the applicant?
3. Please comment specifically on the applicant's motivation, emotional maturity and stability, self-reliance and independence, academic abilities, and professional goals as they relate to the study abroad proposal. Please pay particular attention to the candidate's ability to relate his/her study abroad proposal to NSEP's mission to build international competence among U.S. undergraduates who are planning international careers. Your impressions of the student's ability to adapt to a different cultural environment, his/her linguistic preparation, and any other factors which you believe may have a bearing on the candidates's successful experience abroad would also be useful.
The deadline is 2/10/06! ;_;
Gaaah... school starts tomorrow. I have all my books, I'll be working like crazy tomorrow... I hope my night class doesn't last TOO long. I hope I can still get to my locker between classes all right, and I hope it's not so immensely crowded that I worry about where I'll get lunch or dinner (yeuch). I need to go to sleep soon... just finish one more Lois & Clark episode... ;_;... I probably won't sleep much tonight ANYWAY!

Date: 2006-02-01 07:32 am (UTC)o_o I can't remember which idea I wanted to bounce off you, and it feels like it's been so long... if I ever got off of work/school at a decent hour, I'd be logging more hours on Trillian for sure! I wonder if I can sneak some while I'm at work... but then, you'd be at school, so... :P
Anyway, email or betasquad-- take your pick. :D (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY zomg YAAAAAAAAAAY)
