		<description><![CDATA[So far, the only PhD program I got into has been NYU's. I have offers for master's at Edinburgh, SOAS and Columbia, but they're all unfunded, while NYU's funding me for 5 years. I also got rejected at Yale's and Columbia's PhD programs, which means I'm only waiting on Cornell, where, as far as I can tell, I am...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow, January 25, officially a holiday called Police Day, there's a huge demonstration going on. Thousands of people are going to be in the street protesting against the government, the police, corruption, inflation, unemployment--you name it. Unfortunately, I can't go.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So they sent me my username to check my application on their EUCLID system, but no password. Several emails later, I have one. I log in to MyEd, click on the Launch EUCLID icon, and get an error message. I log out, log back in, no dice. Apparently, I have no access to EUCLID; my username (which they sent this morning) doesn't exist. I email...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's past 11 PM, and I've been up since 6 AM. I had class, then attended a panel at a conference, and then went home to work on my applications. I finished and uploaded my SoPs, CV and scanned transcript to all the apps. Now I just need to finish my writing sample (which is not even half-done) and nudge my last recommender, and I'll be...]]></description>

I have several versions, you see.<br />My SoP has a long and a short version. The short version is being sent to Cornell and NYU, since they both ask for maximum 2 double-spaced pages. The long version is going to Yale and Columbia, where I can send up to...]]></description>

It's been over a month; how long does it take to print out a table and get it signed and stamped?<br /><br />Regarding the writing sample, I am little frustrated by MS Word's inability to actually format a bibliography MLA style.

		<description><![CDATA[Today, I went to visit one of my recommenders who was having trouble with the online system. I don't understand why schools insist on online recommendations, especially in a field renowned for aging professors, who will certainly have trouble navigating the websites. Anyway, so I helped her submit the two remaining recommendations, which means...]]></description>
