Final Decision Thread 2013
Deadinthewater replied to Datatape's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
I am still heavily considering PSU. It's between that and irvine; I won't have a chance to visit irvine, and I have heard only (2nd and 3rd- hand) negative things, but we will see how my communication with profs goes. I feel bad but I will most likely take this decision down to the proverbial wire. -

Don't listen to Fishbucket, the infamous troll. She's my cat, and I can prove it: -

Today I went to a coffee shop to get my usual, a coffee black to stay. I have an account with the shop because they don't take credit cards unless you're paying a lot, so every few months I charge it up with twenty or thirty dollars. The girl behind the counter has very short hair, and she plays in a band that I have seen play around the town. I ordered my coffee (she knows it by heart, god bless her), and she asked if I wanted it on my account. I told her yes. She asked me what I was reading. I asked her if she had ever heard of Lacan, and she said she had read him in some of her women's study courses. I took out my credit card and she reminded me I was using my account, and then she opened her mouth, and I thought I hear a telephone ringing. The dog told me that my account was running low. I walked upstairs, into the basement. Life is lonely here, humans. -

Tonight at the Madison Square Garden, fellow CUNY students Fishbucket and Tripwillis go toe-to-toe for eighteen rounds in the Rumble in the AntiHumanist Jungle. -
Hi guys, hoping I'm not too late to toss my 2 cents into the biscuit. Cabinfever, I unfortunately know nothing about any of the schools you have mentioned, but have you ever heard of the Princeton College or University of the California-Berkeley? If you decide to reapply in a second round, I believe that these programs have good reputations. You might consider looking into them.

I was only trying to say that the letter reads a little awkwardly, that it's worth a laugh. Wasn't trying to say anything about the program itself. It's just that it reminds me of a fiction writer from where I live. The other day while at a reading he presented his general form suicide letter, for people who are thinking about killing themselves but can't write: "My relationship to this world was once symbiotic--but when? I cannot recall. When? It was a time when Desire burned bright above me like some distant star that I was climbing toward, and am now only floating away from, having passed it unnoticed like two ships in the night. I write to you now as a parasite; or is it the world itself? Yes, I have endured the pain of its cruelly indifferent hostility for too long. That is why I, (INSERT NAME HERE), am choosing to take arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them. I apologize to (INSERT PEOPLE YOU LIKE HERE); it was not you, it was simply my (INSERT FAILURES HERE)" or something like that.

Digital Humanities
Deadinthewater replied to isol3's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
I know that, despite the university's shortcomings in other areas, Nebraska's DH program is 100% no-nonsense, and it is the flagship field within the English program. (They tell me that) They are ranked very high. For English-related digital humanities, Matt Jockers and Stephen Ramsay are your guys. That being said, I don't really care about digital humanities. Just trying to offer what (I think) I know -

Acceptance Freakout Thread

Wegman's? Hmmm. Not so sure about this place. No offense, but it doesn't seem like it can compete with the low prices and friendly service at the #1 best kept secret in my hometown: http://www.walmart.com/
