    gradgradgradddddd got a reaction from Nomad1111 in Who else is feeling crazy emotional right now?   
    not expecting anyone to consider my opinion... just saying that there's a lot of selfabsorption in the room. how quickly we forget what it's like to be on the torturous waiting end! these are the kinds of attitudes that carry forward into academia and shows how profs can completely guiltlessly put applicants thru hell during app season.
     
    apply your very powerful brain for a day or two, consult everyone you need to consult, and make a decision. because of this dawdling and "WEEEEE I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DOOOOO HEE HEE!" some people will have to make the tough choice of turning down offers to gamble for a wait list offer that may come after april 15. 
     
    it's awful.

    yaaa no.... people in this thread are saying that "they know they should pick their dream school" but insist on being neurotic and beating the question to death by asking everyone and anyone their opinion. even when all of those opinions align with "pick the dream school" these people STILL don't decline offers. you people are gross, selfish and awful.

    gradgradgradddddd got a reaction from empress-marmot in Taking Course with Adviser--Necessary?   
    Thanks! Embarrassingly, I've had three dreams in the past few weeks about taking a course with this rockstar prof so I'm definitely taking it as a sign.
     
    I'm entering as an early modernist but this course is in theory, though, so I hope it doesn't seem like I sold myself as a different type of scholar than I really hope to be. I will be taking this course over another one offered in Shakespeare as well... but then again I'm not a Shakespearian and I'm not into drama either. I'm not sure who I should be making these rationalizations to.
