What are you working on? June 2011

This is the third What Are You Working On? thread. Click on the 'waywo' tag to see previous threads. I'm going to do these every two months instead of every month from now on. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started, those are for a different thread.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable

Applying to grad schools! I also have started a small side business, which is reasonably successful, and low stress/undemanding.

Any advice about the grad application process would be appreciated. Some info:

I'm applying to Clinical Psychology programs, either Psy.D or Ph.D (I want to be a clinician).
My B.A. is in Psychology, with a minor in neuroscience.
I have a low undergrad GPA for a grad applicant: 3.3
99th percentile score on the Psychology GRE
1360 on the general GRE, 730 Verbal, 630 Quantitative

Don't go for a Psy. D if i was you. They take an approach of whats called "scholar-practitioner" which means that just have to know how to look at the available literature whereas a Ph.D you actually have to do science in order to get it the phd version is scientist practitioner.

man if you can't get in i am hopeless i have a 2.83 undergrad and probably won't do nearly as well on my gre
