  4. Match.com is already bumming me out. I took a major step and wrote about my cerebral palsy on my profile, I have gotten like 3 messages. :/ I know I should be more confident because I have cp that's not changing but no one wants me :( so sad already.

      But 3 people are interested, and you've only been on the site a couple of days. I think it is a bit of an exaggeration to claim that *no one* wants you.

      It could be bad if they don't have enough money to fund their students on RAships & you have to TA for the next 5 years...

  9. Is it just me or is meeting a nice guy really this hard?

  10. No, my fellow American, I am not over-educated; you, sir, are undereducated.

  11. Prof didn't send her letter in to half my schools and is now on vacation without internet. Can't believe it... all that time and $ down the drain.

      Sympathy. It might still be possible to submit her LOR late and still get your applications considered.

  23. Playing around with my online school account. My academic program says that I am effective from the Summer of 2013 to "the end of time". That made me chuckle.
