  1. Graduate school preparation: watch every Netflix show available.

      You'll do that during breaks too... lol

  2. Though the application season is nearly over, I'm oddly optimistic that something good is going to come by way--an acceptance anywhere at this point with funding would be fantastic. Though, if you don't intend to go to OSU, let them know. ;)

  3. I'm fairly confident the government can categorize applying for graduate school AND hopelessly waiting for good news as a successful torture method. Olivia Pope has nothing on my anxiety levels.

      Gladiators in suits! or sweatpants, if we're talking about grad students ;)

  4. Whoever thought translating Old English would be easy definitely didn't spend seven hours translating five pages. To my defense, I'm fairly confident the text is a ten-point font.

      I think 7 hours is actually pretty good for prose! Don't sell yourself short. :)

      I had to read an untranslated edition of The Canterbury Tales in a British lit. class I took as a sophomore, and translating Middle English was enough of a headache for me. I recall spending hours and hours just working through a handful of pages. So, PROPS.

      Thanks, you guys! It was definitely discouraging, but once I attended class Monday night, I realized nearly everyone had a few struggles, except the grad students who had already taken the course and were taking it again for an extra three credits.

  5. To clean or to complete assignments? To clean it is.

      My type-A personality and OCD are in overdrive with stress. So cleaning seems to be the only logical answer to anything. ;)

  6. Five more apps to go!

  7. I just registered for both the GRE and English Subject Test. Shit is getting real.
