Hey all! To the person who asked about the Peace Corps...I actually did it right out of undergraduate, so feel free to ask if you have any questions in particular. I actually was the +/-5th person on my team of 34 to leave (I lasted 5 months...and no, unlike the Army, it is okay to go AWOL without penalty). Anywho, I am really really excited about potentially getting accepted into a PhD Program, but alas, I have a Plan B, which is to quit my job (I have been here for 4 years (since Peace Corps), and enough is enough. I'll be moving back home to NJ and then look for jobs in the same field - but much different type. My Plan C is to move to Isreal and become a citizen and work on a kibbutz for 6 months :-) Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but that could be cool hahaha.

Uggggh, I totally know the feeling you guys are going through. I cannot wait to (please, please please!!!!!) hopefully get into at least 1 of the 6 schools I applied to. On Thursday, while at work (a job at which I will HAPPILY say adios to when hearing from a school) I got an email saying "Congratulations, you are now.....welcome to attend our Open House..." and I was really excited but then at the very bottom it said "if you have not yet heard whether or not you have been admitted, please wait to make your confirmation to visit during the Open House." OMG, I went from elated to pizz-zzzed in a matter of 8.2 seconds. Oh well, better than a rejection!!!
