  1. If you had to eat a raw frog today, would you do it in the morning or keep putting it off?

      Need more details. What species? Is it poisonous? Must it all be eaten at once?

  2. Moving to CO in 3 weeks, and my husband was finally offered a job yesterday. I'm so glad since I was responsible for his anxiety from having to find a new one since we're moving for my PhD program.

      Congrats! I am in a similar situation. My poor husband is traveling for interviews in our new home state on a weekly basis it seems!

      Hi :) I took my photo that's my display pic at the Ga Aquarium. Would it be possible for you to choose another?

  4. Huge thanks to one of the schools I applied to that led me to believe I was unofficially accepted in early February - only to tell me now, only after I emailed asking the status of my admission, that I am low on the waitlist and am not going to get in. Real classy.

      That is awful :( I hope that you are able to work things out with a better school. This department sounds shady :(

  5. I'm going to accept the offer from my first-choice school! I'm so excited to be going to grad school!

  6. First campus visit this week. Dress like I would any other day right? No one wears a formal to these things? (not a business program)

      I'm not sure whether visit days are different than interview days, but all 8 of us prospectives were dressed formally for a humanities interview. Hope this helps :)

  7. I am not being able to focus on anything. My thesis awaits to be completed, I have at least 10 books I should have read already (they seat patiently on my desk), I have an interview coming soon, and all I can do is browsing the internet looking for clues about Ph.D. programs' decisions. This is pathetic and childish but I cannot avoid it.

      I can definitely relate! I need to work on my thesis, but my nerves are so rattled that it's hard to get anything done!

  8. Saw about 7 posts on the same topic today ("OMG school wants a decision in x amount of days, what do I do?!??!") doesn't anyone use the search function?

      I thought it would be interesting for others to know that this cycle a lot of schools are ignoring the CGS resolution and not "playing nice," which is creating some stressful situations for us. For me, grad cafe is as good a place as any to vent :)
