Breathe, breathe, breathe!

I wonder if I ever this anxious as child as I am now.  Once I start thinking about what I need to do in the next 2 months, it freaks me out.  Come October 1, I'm going to start crying about the beginning, and crying after April that it'll be over.

Just let me rant, please? :[

Grad school!  Why are you so much more complicated to apply for than undergraduate studies?  What is up with the 4 different deadlines for each program, the multiple locations I need to mail out the same things to, orientation dates, etc.  I haven't even started on my statement of purpose.  The word "doomed" is just hanging above my head every time I triple check the school websites to make sure the dates didn't change.  Some require the online app, some need both.  GRE scores aren't required but recommended, blah blah blah.

I know they have people that help plan parties or weddings.  Can't I have someone to plan out my graduate school career?  At least give me something solid to work with.

Schools I've decided in order:
  1. CSUSF Counseling program
  2. CSUSF Clinical program
  3. CSU San Jose Counseling program
  4. CSU East Bay Counseling program
  5. CSU Sacramento Counseling program
The good thing about all of this: I only need my letters of rec filled out in a form!  Makes me feel bad for putting some people on a goose chase...
