Hello friends!I'm so excited to tell you all about the wonderful time I had visiting my new school's campus last week. My one year anniversary was Tuesday, and that night (after an incredible day together, of course), my husband and I left LA on a redeye for Newark. We were there for about four days, and it was... an incredible experience. Unf...

Around the Block Again
Some things are starting to become clear in my new adventure, and some things still remain a mystery.I've been in touch with two graduate students (one is one of my POI's students and one is from hereeee 
) and they've been awesome answering all my questions and going above and beyond what I would have ever imagined. I feel so much more at e...

I've been struggling with a lack of motivation lately, especially in writing for my website . I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because this waiting process has me so anxious that I can't focus, or maybe it's because my fulltime job has kept me focused on "the real world." Whatever it is, I don't like it, and I want to get bac...
"I have doubts. I have such doubts." Sometimes I feel like Meryl Streep's character in Doubt- I feel so sure and so confident, so certain, in my belief in something (myself), and then the unsettling feeling of doubt sweeps in.I'm not sure what it is about this process that is so psychologically affecting. I wish I could exist for the next...
Today I received what I assume is my first (unofficial) rejection. Emory's welcome weekend is in just a few short days (Feb. 2-4) and I wasn't invited. I think this means that I didn't get into the program. That's surprising because my POI and I were an excellent fit and when we spoke in October we got along really well. My POI also told m...
I'm officially in the waiting game for all schools. I've done well to keep in touch with my POIs and I imagine I'll still keep in touch in the coming months as I await decisions. I am hoping for acceptances to be sent out from my top 5 schools around mid-February (and that I am one of the chosen), but based on survey data available on the Grad...
I started a new job last Wednesday, so between preparing to leave my old job and starting my new job, I have done nothing with applications in about 10 days. I'm not comfortable with that, but I haven't had time. Further adding to my distraction despair is that two of my letter writers are great with timing and have uploaded nearly all of my lette...
I don't think I did an adequate job of introducing myself in my first entry, other than to say that this is my second application season and I'm applying to about 11 programs. I have my B.A. in Art History from UCLA. I was fortunate enough to have numerous research opportunities there. I can read, translate, and speak Italian, French, and Spanish, and I'm...
