      Creating new memories with new people in places that used to remind you of him. I used to associate beaches and the ocean with the one who crushed my heart, but after some time, I had the courage to go on a beach vacation with my sister and I felt SO FREE AND REFRESHED

  4. Going camping in the desert for some field research and spring break fun. I'm so excited!

  5. 3/3 now. Still no word from the two top (I guess I have a 1a and 1b school and then the rest are 2a-f depending on potential funding/continuing on to phd process). Still this has been a pretty good start to the weekend.

  6. 2/2 so far :-). Fighting the urge to email the others asking for a timeline so I can make a decision asap :-(.

  7. First result is an acceptance! Feels good to finally be able to add a result to the results page

  8. {to self} "Filling out 'acceptance of offer' form...Check! Envelope...Check! ...[sigh] I GUESS I shouldn't use my Harry Potter stamps.... [le sigh]

  9. Great Utah sent an email saying decisions would be emailed "Any moment now...". Now I'm stuck refreshing my Google Inbox

  10. 99% sure I've been shut out... due to a lack of funding post interview (so far implied) rejection. Ouch. :( I love my field and I don't want to give up on my PhD but ouch. I will be be back next year!

  11. Every day, I say a little prayer that the students ahead of my waitlist spot get into their dream schools.

  18. 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 err on the side of "no jeans" even when casual/comfortable attire was suggested. People are going to overdress for these occasions, and you don't want to look sloppy compared to them.

      Girl, when my worst breakup happen with who I thought was my soul mate, I don't think I ate for 3 months. I lost 17 pounds. Couldn't function. Eventually started to find a new normal 6 months later. If I'm the extreme, then you're definitely normal. And yes, it will get better! Time heals everything. *hugs*

  21. Visiting UT Dallas on Monday... first visit as an accepted (but not committed) applicant. What questions should I ask?

  22. Oh what does one do when overwhelmed with maths, thesis work, and manuscripts to write for grad courses?

  23. I just want to pick out classes already and do grad school stuff. It's cool that I got the email that says I'm admitted, but I want more now.

  24. I have been accepted to my number 1 program and I'm thrilled. Ready to start my next chapter as a graduate student.
