Who got the other WUSTL interview and what sub-discipline?

I'm way too excited that my academia page just got visited by a potential POI.

I read lying down either in bed or in the bath.

A new week begins hopefully we all hear some good news.

Transmission by Hari Kunzru. I'm diggin it.

Congrats on your interview. Know your shit. Prepare to talk about anything and everything in your SOP. I ended up talking about theory more than anything else and it caught me off guard. I felt like I was shooting from the hip the entire time. Know it and be prepared to wing it a bit. You may be entering uncharted territory.

I didn't have any expectations that it would be one way or another. I was meeting two new people for the first time to have a semi-professionalized discussion about my intellectual obsessions and academic desires. It was odd. I don't have those types of conversations regularly let alone with folks who can radically alter your life by saying yay or nay. It was what it was. Is that what they want to see?

3 rejections from Emory today. Damn. Sorry guys!

I survived my skype chit chat. Now back to waiting. By rough around the edges I mean a big beard, hand tattoos that cannot be hidden and that I'm not your "traditional" student.

I jump a little bit but they have all been false alarms. I check my analytics three or four times a day right now. Its kinda pathetic. I'm nervous about my interview tomorrow. What happens if my brain shuts down and I can't put sentences together or say fuck every other word? I'm rough around the edges should I play that up as an asset cause it's not like I can hide it? O shit, o shit, o shit...

According to the email I received they want to sus out who I am, where I've been, where I want to go and what I want my project to look like.

Its cold. Ill keep my pants on.

Friday. I'm wondering if they do two rounds of interviews and if I need to get spruced up for it.

Nope. Skype with a handful of faculty.
