Rejection #5 has arrived! (And it rhymes)
Got my rejection from Notre Dame today. It was actually in e-mail form, so I suppose it's environmentally friendly and everything. I'm a little bummed about this one; Notre Dame was the school that actually sought me ought, so I guess I thought my chances were better. Or not, since they rejected me like the big, fat reject I am. Oh well. The ( Read more... ) -
Rejection #4 is not really a surprise.
Rejection #4 has arrived in the mail! It's Cornell, which surprises me absolutely not at all. I knew they'd reject me when I applied, and reject me they did! Three more rejections and I'll be done with this sorry experiment, at which point I'm moving down to Texas to become a high school teacher for a couple of years. After that, I'm going on ( Read more... ) -

Rejection #2
Got my second rejection today. Hurrah.
Okay, I'm lying. This is very far from hurrah. This is profoundly not hurrah. I think I'm going to end up falling back on one of my other plans, because clearly I won't be attending graduate school this upcoming year. I should therefore start looking into other avenues.

Poo-ness
Okay, so the sounds my laptop were making got worse. I took it to the Geek Squad this morning, and they confirmed that it was, indeed, the fan, which had gone out of whack or something. At any rate, it needs to be replaced, which is about what I was expecting.
At that point, things got complicated.
Apparently, I have to order the new fan, and ( Read more... ) -

Hey! Oxford peeps! Help!
Okay, help me out here:
I'm doing the application to Oxford, and they want me to "supply a research proposal". At least, this is me going off the assumption that I'm doing a research degree for my doctorate, which is kind of what I want. I think. But I don't know what I want to research yet. I thought you didn't have to spit out a thesis for ( Read more... )
