I am in the process of finalizing my law school applications, as some of you know. On the good news front, I’ve sent off my UT application, and am busily looking for orange goats to sacrifice. If you see any, let me know.
But yes, the rant. Both the UT and SMU application PDFs are formatted as forms. So, you can type directly onto them, fill in checkboxes, and all that good stuff. Neat. Completely typed applications should be impressive, right?
Except, neither school makes doing this easy: both their applications, when opened in the newest version of Adobe Reader, inform you that no, you will not be able to save data you type into the form, only print it out. This wasn’t a problem for me when I did the UT app, as I was able to do it all in one sitting, but I worked on the SMU app last night and couldn’t finish it all, so I left it open.
About forty minutes ago, My computer promptly decided to crash for the first time in three months.
Application go poof.
This is surely proof that I’m not as paranoid as I thought I was, and the universe really does plot against me.
Grr.
