My spreadsheet says the same. I hope this is not a troll. Not only will it be earlier than usual, but there is only one. They usually send acceptances out in groups. I have yet to start my stockpile of chocolate, ice cream, and wine that is supposed to get me through the end of January - April 15th time period.

There is nothing wrong with writing less as long as you addressed everything you wanted to.

Neocon - If you have nothing nice to say, then you shouldn't say anything at all. Judging by your other inappropriate posts I am not surprised by your behavior. gokpinar - Your profile, minus your GRE scores, is good.

Not in philosophy, but this is a very important topic. I've started applying for jobs and have 2 interviews tomorrow in marketing. I know nothing about marketing, but it is the only sector responding to my resume... I want the job because (1) I NEED money, (2) I do not want to put my life on hold for something that may not happen, and (3) it will at least give me something to do for most of the day that I won't be able to check gradcafe every 5 seconds. However, I do not want the job because I will hate to get it and have to quite in 7-8 months and it is not in my field of interest, but I need money.

Agreed. My relationship with mine are only academic in nature. I also have no idea what to get people aside from anything related to alcohol!

I just said thank you in a very well-written email. I don't feel comfortable getting them anything because I know that they would not approve. Also, it would seem like I am paying them off. Of course, this may differ according to what country you are from.
