Is anyone else having a hard time telling their advisors? I'm a work-study in the department my research mentor is in and even though I have seen him almost every day in the last week, I just can't find it in me to tell him, even though I know he won't freak out or anything. I just totally feel like I let him down. Is that odd?

I've picked up yoga and smoothie-making, especially alcoholic smoothie-making. I can't stress how badly the smoothie-making has been going since I've tried introducing vodka into the process.

A friend has been telling me about this and I had to get in on this board in particular. Really hits home, I got rejected from 3/8 schools this week (including my number 1 and number 2) and man, it has been rough. I know UC-Denver will be a yes, I'm taking one (undergrad) class there this semester and my professor has told me several times that I'm a shoe-in and she's been lobbying for me since the department open house and that she and several other faculty members are excited to potentially have me there. She has also said that she would like me to be her T.A. for the fall (though even then, the funding kind of sucks, but oh well). I know I'm really lucky in this regard, but I'm still pretty bummed, as I was really hoping to get out of state. Central Florida, the only school I've been officially accepted to, is still an option, though I think I missed quite a few graduate assistantship position applications last week in the midst of my minor meltdown after hearing from Stanford (my number 1). I know it was a longshot, but still disappointing.
