      Thanks folks! @TOC: it's going well! I have a nice big office of my own, and I'm basically taking over for someone who has been doing this gig full-time for the past decade. It's firmly in my discipline, and also firmly within my skillset, so it's really a godsend.

    Results may still be coming in, but like CNN in an election cycle, I'm calling it. Shut out of Ph.D. programs this year, but I'm truly thrilled to be pursuing my M.A. at UMD this fall!

    17 applications. I guess that's what you would call "casting a wide net."
