Hahaha, the worst is the fact that these cool websites they set up to make applying to their programs sooooo easy are NEVER updated with your status throughout the entire process. Thus, the numerous phone calls the department receives from us asking for updates is the consequence, when it is probably the easiest thing they could do for us.

Just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck in moving forward in their careers! Especially you, NoWayNoHow...I remember you from last season! This year is yours!

Good luck!

Just ordered it via Prime on Amazon because of your recommendation and my insatiable interest in African Diaspora...thank you...I now have three books related to African-American history to read over Christmas break and I cannot wait.

I only applied to four and was accepted to three of them. I think you're fine really. I was in the same situation, broke. However, since I could only apply to four, I made sure they were the best fit for me and I put all my effort into making contact and submitting an excellent application. Best of luck!

I met my fiance during my post-bac in Arizona. She knew from the beginning that I was going to grad school. We discussed it and sure, some of those became very heated, but they were also necessary. I asked her before I applied to grad school if she was willing to move to the programs I was interested in and I made compromises. However, I also explained why I was applying to where I was applying. When I get my offers, I asked her again, where she would rather live. And we made the decision together. I wasn't going to ask her to move anywhere she wouldn't be happy. Also, she wasn't going to move unless she already had a job lined up. It's something we discussed and agreed upon. We lucked out that she got within her field and we were able to move together. And now, we're across the country in Boston...me going to school and her working. It's all about communication and being honest from the beginning. Also, I know how silly and simple it is, but it's also about being adults. You are at an age where you need to act like adults and not make decisions on the whim. You have to communicate with each other and not expect things from each other. If you're an adult, or simply mature, about it, you have nothing to worry about. If you both want it to work out, it will. If you have outrageous expectations and insecurity, then you need to reflect on your relationship and your future...not about your career goals.

Please, please don't think that in today's world that "dating around" (or more specifically - sleeping around) and getting yourself pregnant will equal a happy marriage. More than likely, the guy will not be sticking around. It could without doubt lead to more serious issues, like him claiming to not be the father, since you seem so intent on sleeping and dating around as much as possible. You really need to reevaluate your current goals and learn to just go with the flow. You'll come across as much more attractive when you have your life together and you're happy with where you're at...at least that's my opinion. Guys don't find desperation attractive. They don't want to be expected to get married and pregnant on the first date. That journey is part of the fun. Enjoy it and don't rush it. Also, I think you should leave your current boy toy if he isn't treating you right. You don't want to settle for less. You don't want your children to be treated badly and you shouldn't raise your future kids in an environment where they think it's alright for the guy to treat their mom poorly.

Buttons! and items of personal adornment. I still come up with my analysis, but a majority of the collection was done because it was supposed to be part of another dissertation, but she never got around to including it. And I'll be working on the report and may get my name as an author for that. Double-win!

going to volunteer at the museum this evening and teach kids about archaeology.

I hope that is a good thing!

been studying like crazy for my ceramics practical tomorrow...if any of you have extra luck to wish, I'd appreciate it!
-
There's no need to be...just remind yourself that everyone is applying to multiple programs. I declined two other offers to be in my current program. With all the numerous acceptances/rejections people get, the odds really aren't terribly out of your favor.

Advice for Cultural/Sociology 2016 Grad Student
AKCarlton replied to lilithofcrimson's topic in Anthropology Forum
Yeah! My Alma-mater! It's a beautiful city! My only concern would be that you would be competing with a lot of anthros who are doing "indigenous studies" because that's what a majority of the professors study...which is why I had to move far away for what I wanted to study in my masters program. Also, I don't know if this always happens, but their current cohort is practically made up of students from undergrad. I don't know how big it is, but from my friends on Facebook alone, I see about 5 or 6 of the friends I graduated with in the grad program at NAU. A lot of "accepting from within".
