Why So Serious, Liz?

So I am kind of obsessed with the Joker from Dark Knight (like half the population), and decided that I would dress up like him as the nurse in the hospital scene for Halloween (again, like half the population).

But I was nervous about being able to do the face paint properly (seriously, google image it... there are a lot of shitty examples out there), so a friend of mine and I broke out the make up and some beer and went to work last night for practice.


What we learned is that I need to not go so far down below the eyes with the black, make sure my scars are glued on really well, and go a little easier on the red. With my hair frizzed out a little more, it's the perfect length (and the color sort of matches the red wig he wore), AND I found a dress that looks like a nurse's uniform with red accents. I even printed up a Harvey Dent sticker...

Yeah. I'm fucking excited.

Applying to MSPP

The Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology offers a Master of Arts program in Counseling Psychology.

Obviously, I am applying.

While the GRE’s are optional (hence why this is the first school I am actually making an effort for), I do have quite the list of things I need to include in my application:

• $50.00 Application Fee (non-refundable)

Oh, the joy.

• Completed application form

Which, of course, I have to fill out online. We will wait on that one.

• Three (3) letters of recommendation

I just hope it won’t count against me that two of them will be from music teachers at the same school.

• Curriculum Vitae

This is fancy talk for “kick-ass resume.”

• Autobiographical Statement

A 3 – 5 page AUTOBIOGRAPHY?!?! Please. Kill me.

• Statement of Purpose & Goals

Another 3 – 5 pages of self-righteous drivel. While I enjoy writing these sorts of things… I DISDAIN being judged by them.

• Official transcript(s)

Easy. Got one already… somewhere in here… I think…

• Change of Career Statement

Unfortunately, I think this might just be applicable to me. We shall see if “Performance Design” can really count as a “career.”

This is going to be a LOT of work. Pray for me.
