The other day I received my application in the mail for Georgetown. I was rather excited seeing how it is one of my top choices for college. I was ready to start filling in the perfect little royal blue lines with information about my classes and extracurricular activities, but then I stopped.
What if I messed up? I was sure that one of the finest institutions of higher learning would not look too kindly on white out or scratch marks. I decided to write very slowly and cautiously to avoid any such mistakes.
Then a new panic set in. What if I had something on my fingers and it stained the perfect parchment-like paper? I went and double washed my hands.
With that fear set aside, I was ready to write. Then I wondered, what if I wrote in black and they preferred blue? (Seeing how their colors are white and blue.)
I came to the conclusion that I should walk away for a minute and then come back.
The funny thing is, I ended up doing the application on line.
That sounds like something I would do. :)
I don't think they would inspect the application that detailed, but it's good to cautious.
