I've had enough of being a mindless drone.
I've submitted my application for Winter 08 funding.
I am a 21 year old full time college student/full time employee for a Disney contractor doing tape backups for 12 hours a night. After I get off work at 7am I go directly to school. Not fun at all.
My partner and I hope that by submitting this application we've entered a rewarding new chapter in our lives.

- abunz 19y agoAwesome dude! Good luck, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to apply as well!
- Ultrapreneur 19y agoLike you my partner and I will be submitting our application for the winter 08 funding. We're from Canada, so if selected are looking forward to getting out of the snow and hacking.
- Tichy 19y agoDon't forget to go for your idea anyway in case you are not accepted (or another, improved idea, whatever).
- dan97632 19y agoSo when do you sleep? Don't tell me you don't sleep, we all know that's impossible for more than a week or so.
- jpalacio486 19y agoThanks for the comments guys. And to answer dan97632's question, I get home about 11AM and go to bed from about 11:30 to 5:00 then I get up and do it all over again.
- cubicle67 19y agoGood on you. Don't let your future be determined by the success/failure of your application. Make a decision now to do what needs to be done regardless of your application's outcome. You need to have the mindset "I'm doing this anyway, and if I get funding it's a bonus" Kudos for doing something to escape. Work takes on a different outlook now, hey?
- jpalacio486 19y agoNot only the funding but the contacts and guidance that YC provides is priceless. If YC accepts us, it will be a very life altering situation.
