The last PIQ really kicked my rear. I was technically going between two questions (talent vs. unique candidate) and finally landed on the second. Writing it was kind of meh, and my supporting information could’ve been better, but it was very serviceable and I had finished 80% by Spanish class. Spanish was a whirlwind. Profe. Alcazar’s cold pushed back some lessons so we sped through stem-changing verbs and reflexive verbs. Class took a break before stem-changing verbs; I burned a couple tea bags just to see if they really would rocket up, and they did, but made a small mess of ash in the sink. Reflexive infinitives have been in my head since the start of COVID! Crazy. It’s also a pretty common grammatical construct. Finished up Spanish class, took a brief break. Got back to work on the personal insight question, finished the last 20% of editing and revising, went back through the other parts of my application. Ate some dinner – orange squash and fish soup, made with some dried fish and some fresh fish, and ate a bit of shrimp paste and cucumbers. Washed plates, got back to the application, copied and pasted in my answers, and submitted the application. FINALLY! I am free.
