		<title>Grad School Officially Sucks</title>

		<category></category>
		<description>I was first rejected by my top choice school last year and so I went with my third choice at the time.  I was pretty bummed about going there, but realized that they had more to offer than I realized.  Fast forward to completing my first semester of grad school...</description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been looking for an apartment for the past 3 - 4 days.  I've searched through craigslist, yelp, rent, forrent, apartments, apartmentratings, and the university's off campus housing website.  I still have no idea where I'm going to stay and the places I had an interest in turn out to be completely full.  Other places which I...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description>This year I applied to a total of 10 schools.  Of those 10 schools, there was really only one school I wanted to attend.  If I had my way, I would have only had applied to that one school, but I felt that I needed to apply to more schools.  This particular school had a very unique program different from all the rest.  It was an interdisciplinary...</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only 1 week left before I have to make that final decision and I still don't even know where I'm going to go.  I was accepted to 5 of the 10 schools so far, but the most important school has yet to give me a decision.  Decisions were supposed to be released online yesterday, but still nothing and they finalized all decisions a couple days...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's basically the end of March and I still have not heard from 7 of the 10 programs I applied to.  When will my decisions arrive?  April 15th is fast approaching and I don't want to just decide on schools because I haven't heard from the more important ones on my list.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I woke up today anxiously waiting for the mail to arrive because I didn't receive any emails from any schools this morning.  The mail is finally here and I look to see that one letter is from my dream school.  My heart starts beating faster and I tear open the envelope.  My hand starts shaking as I slowly pull out the letter.  I skim it...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The wait is really getting to me now.  The longer it takes a school to get back to me, the more I think that I've been added to the mass rejection email list which will probably be sent out near the end of this month.  The thing that really irks me the most is being told that decisions will be sent at the end of March.  I did a little...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received my first acceptance today from the University of Utah which is the same school Ed Catmull, the President of Pixar and Disney Animation, graduated from.  I'm very happy because I was rejected last year and I would guess that it was because of my missing LOR.  I'm very glad that I decided to find another LOR to replace him when I...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description>One of my favorite lecturers replied to my email for a letter of recommendation.  She said no the first time I asked her because she only had a M.S. and she felt that I would have a better chance if I were to ask someone with a PhD.  She knows me pretty well and I found her class to be really enjoyable.  I sent her all my materials, hopefully she...</description>
