I am finding it difficult to motivate myself to tackle the remaining essays. Since I was writing all the Kellogg essays from scratch, they had a fresh feel about them. Now all my essays sound jaded. I don't know whether it's because I have read them a zillion times or if they are really stale. I know the eventual reader will be reading them for the 1st time. But I just can't shake off that uneasy feeling.
Gosh! I am looking forward to January already.

Good luck with the rest of your essays. Happy Diwali.

Totally understand. You read the words over and over again and all everything starts to blur. When that happens, switch gears for a bit. Work on the app data forms, check in w/ your recommenders, or just take a lil' break and then come back and read the essay later (or the next day). Sometimes that may give you a fresh perspective each time.
Good luck w/ R2!
Look on the bright side. Writing from scratch is extremely painful. For me - the more i can reuse, the better. It would ideal if i only had to write one set of essays and could use them for all schools!
