This is all I wrote about for like...over a year.

Now I have three interviews: CMU, Pitt, and BU neuro. I am very please, considering these three schools had the earliest deadlines (12/1, 12/5, and 12/15). Hopefully more will come! It feels good to know that I didn't massively fail on my applications.

I can't wait for tonight! More sad Jack please!

I got career validation this weekend, with my first grad school interview (CMU!).

I'm glad that teenagers are trying to get jobs to avoid more parental mooching, but really, what is the point of all the parental mooching in the ( Read more... )

I'm basically finished applying to graduate school--all that's left is a 750 word essay on wanting to be a female professor (fun!), but that's due in mid January. Now the calm before the rejections.

I think the more schools I apply to, the more delirious I become. Steve agrees that I'm beginning to go nuts. Maybe I'll apply to 12 schools! Someone needs to accept me.
