Rats -

trying to polish off as much as I can of my American Library Association scholarship application (due March 1st - tick tock), but as the server for the online component of the form appears to be down right now - stupid online applications! - it looks like I'll have to work on my "Statement of Purpose", which needs to be no more than 300 words in length. No more than! 3000 words would be easier, I think. Well, I guess I can just dig up my Simmons essay and start cutting until I hit the magic number...
