  1. Thank you so much! At this rate, it might be better if I'm not accepted during this app season. I'll have a whole year to learn about Real Life during the day and disappear into theory at night. I'd rather not have to learn about Real Life at all, of course.
  2. I'm glad someone else is nervous. I came pretty late to the rhetoric game, and I'm terrified about falling behind everyone else if I'm accepted anywhere.There's no rhet/comp program in my department, so my training's in literature. What I know about comp theory comes from begging my professors for reading material. I think that's what I'm most nervous about in a large program--failing from unpreparedness. Anyone else?
  3. I wish I had more insight into Purdue. Nothing on the results board yet, but I found this post yesterday: That's the English lit program, but I'm not going to infer anything about acceptances yet.
  4. I thought I wasn't a hipster. Then I started reading Postmodern criticism.
  5. What are you working on, Bow Ties? I just wrote a paper on the rhetoric of email. Author, audience, motive, all that fun stuff. Did you want grad school angst? Because I can give you grad school angst, but I'd rather read what y'all're doing in your happy Rhet/Comp worlds.
  6. I love how Rhet/Comp is so cross-genre. I'm sure MFA students could write awesome theoretical papers about their grad-school anxiety, but those wouldn't be so much fun to read. proflorax--Thank you for welcoming me! WendyWonderland--Good job! And bhr--Thank you for starting this angsty poetry trend!
  7. I was wondering when someone would start writing poetry! May I try? Again I see this month of woe go by: while I check my online account in vain and sigh. Sun, darest thou shine? O Rain! This State, this waiting game, this endless lie I daily live. Purdue, to you I’d fly, for I cannot stop this rejection pain; too long endured, too long, too long I’ve lain amid these ruins, cast away. My future unknown, my breaths stag’ring, so sick: Purdue, you frighten me! I am undone and still you withhold this e-mail; be quick to accept me, and fund me too! There’s one day left—I am fill’d with proverbial fire: Rhet/Comp at Purdue is my greatest desire.
