!(alignright)http://www.sensoryoutput.com/wp-images/postings/red_tape.jpg(Red tape)! Paperwork. It is at the same time the most necessary part of our litigious world and the most cumbersome. I find it to the be the bane of my existence, my nemesis, the ultimate nightmare for a person attempting to be productive. Electronic paperwork, like PDF(Portable Document Format) documents or well-designed web forms, are less annoying, but still equally superfluous in my opinion. So much effort must be expended just to keep track of financial aid applications, tax returns, FAFSA(Free Application for Federal Student Aid), and many other sundry forms and documents and copies to be completed. In this time just before I start medical school, everyday I get a new request from UNR(University of Nevada, Reno) to complete some mundane outgoing paperwork to complete so that I can receive my degree or from one of my future medical schools. (I’ll tell you all about my medical school saga in the coming days.)

Wonder why I have no time to post lately? Paperwork.
