I got that same email. In the past two weeks, I've unsubscribed to almost everything. I've checked my spam folder more in the past seven days than I had previously checked it in the past seven years.
I find stories to be a nice escape from the woes of waiting. I've compiled a list of literary fiction to read before starting grad school, since time during will be scarce. Right now, I'm diggin White Teeth by Zadie Smith.
And I'm taking suggestions.
