PACKAGES MAILED OUT!

Ah, my packages are mailed out. Man does it feel good. I sent them out 01/08/09. I was obsessing a little bit about any misspellings but after a ton of reviews I decided they were ready to go out.

Oh, I did notice a mistake in my Virginia package but It worked out for the best because I was able to give that package to my professor, and I just printed and bounded a new one, and sent it out a couple days later.

WISH ME LUCK!

Letters Of Intent: Done and Done!

Well today I finally finshed my letters of intent.

I enjoyed researching the schools, and found some last minute changes to my school pics. The best help I got was from emailing friends that have already gone through the Master's application process.

Today I bought some strathmore resume paper (bright white) and talked to the printer about my binding options. I forgot what the option was called but I know it's a heatpress binding process that glues the pages with a spine. looks very nice.

Now, I just have to typeset my letters of intent. I'm going to use a 14pt Adobe Garamond Pro font (which actually looks like a 12pt) and adjust the tracking, kerning, and borders in Adobe InDesign so it fills the pages nice.

My next goal is to have everything mailed out by this Tue or Wed.
