A+ I bought Tim Tams in Chinatown today! The first and only other time I've had Tim Tams was years ago, from a package sent to me by an LJ friend in Australia. I just ate a dark chocolate Tim Tam with hot chocolate and it melted in my mouth and it was wonderful♥

F- All three of my letter-of-reference writers want me to write up a draft (so that they can just sign it). al;skfjasdlfaldWTFUGH It is remarkably difficult to complimentary letter for oneself. LET ALONE THREE. I don't want to apply to grad schools. *whine*

Why don't you ask (read: bribe with money) your friends in your program to write the letters? They probably know different aspects of your research and could highlight that as well as any professor could. As well, it would probably be less difficult for them; it's always easy to write about someone else.

I would never be able to write three reference letters about myself, because they would be too identical. I wouldn't know different things to highlight, and they would all bave the same style.

I don't think you should write the letters yourself- get someone else to write them for you. Grad schools are perceptive and can see if the letters are your writing style.

Good luck with grad school applications. *hugs*
