So it is the time of the year when slackers come out of the wordworks and claim their kingdoms of laziness and excuses with Threat Level: Midnight. I am still wading through hundreds of unread emails sent with pleas and excuses of why applications were late, materials weren't submitted, or frantic crazed questions of what do they do if their recommender hasn't submitted yet and they just e-mailed them again and the out of office reply came on?
Because I just finished applying to a degree program with Columbia myself, you'd think I'd be more sympathetic but noooooope! Many of the excuses are valid, but after reading hundreds after hundreds, I just have to wonder why on Earth anyone leaves anything to the last minute?!
ANYWAYS I found the way to get through this mental frustration is Regina Spektor radio on Pandora. Upbeat yet soothing, calm yet new, original and work appropriate. You will be greeted with The Postal Service, Air, The Kooks, Feist... do yourself a favor and put it on.
