Off to Oly a little before noon to pick up the applications for my scholarship. The advantage of a mid-day trip is no snow — saw signs of the snow last night — but no actual snow snowing. Someone should mention to the weather gods that it is spring, and the time for snow is over.
There are twelve applications to read on Saturday over dinner and wine. Twelve applications turn mean that there is about three inches of applications once you add all the portfolio stuff (such as CD/DVD/newspaper).
Here are the judging criteria:
Quality of Introduction Letter:1 2 3 4 5
Quality of Recommendation Letters:1 2 3 4 5
Quality of Portfolio:1 2 3 4 5
Award one point for each of the following:
Non-Resident
Non-Caucasian
Non-Heterosexual
Point Total for Nons: _______
TOTAL POINTS FOR THIS APPLICANT:_____________
Next stop was to Swanda’s to sign this year’s lease — yes, I’m still on the lease for the International District apartment, otherwise they want a $60 reapplication fee which is silly and wasteful.
I developed a sore throat as the afternoon/evening progressed, which I’m assuming is allergy related since I had the window partially down for the Oly trip. Time to dope myself up and go to bed.
