I'm feeling a bit rusty

I'm supposed to be working on my Statement of Purpose for my grad school applications today.  I haven't even started yet, because I feel like my words will just get all jumbled once I start.  I've been out of school for 3 years, and I think all my critical thinking and writing skills have disappeared.  Anyone want to do it for me? Wink

Just kidding, but seriously.  I think I need some coffee to get me jumpstarted.

    I've been out of school longer than that (5 years).  Between the caffeine, my asthma meds, and getting up at 4 am every.damn.weekday, I'm afraid I'd be less than helpful haha.  I read a book recently and LOVED that I didn't have to analyze any of it!

    I recommend coffee and a brain dump. Just put everything onto some paper (or word document). Phrases that keep cropping up, words you really like, a long string expletives because it's a pain in the ass to write those things. Then more coffee. Then making sense out of it all.

    That's what I do when I feel that way. Though sometimes I put baileys in the second coffee...

    This is what I've been thinking.  I did make some notes last night to help myself, but seriously.  I think I just need to sit down and write, and then try and fix it later.  I never really did 'rough drafts' in college, I would just edit as I went along and try to get it right the first time.

    After reading the title of your post I was going to suggest you go jump your DH, but I guess that's not what you meant, huh? ;-)

     

    PS-28 days until Estes!

    Bio, that's just naughty. Wink

    On the plus side, I did get a rough draft done today!  I still need to do some work on it tonight before I provide my letter-of-recommendation writers with a copy, but it's not too bad so far!
