Need Coffee in an IV

Yes to all of this! Sorry I'm useless in conversation, I'm drinking my body weight in coffee at the moment. My mentor is lucky I love him. By the way, instead of getting huge bonuses for the show, everyone will get their own personalized library!

I mean two broke girls is a hit tv show, so two broke grad wannabees should be worth a pilot at least!

I just looked up my schools/programs on petersons, don't do this. I am now convinced I will not get into anywhere and will live out my days in an applebees.

@Pink Fuzzy Bunny Ha this way I make sure my boyfriend and friends still love me and don't have to deal with my constant complaining. Plus I'm sure my physics class coming up will keep me distracted. Physics and Chemistry have been the bane of my existence ha, sooo good luck in your grad school studies! My mind just does not compute, but I do well in all of my geology classes!

@Pink Fuzzy Bunny I'm a huge bookworm! I have a word document of all the books I want to read and they are either not highlighted meaning I haven't read them, highlighted in blue meaning I ordered them and haven't finished reading them, and finally highlighted in yellow meaning I've read that book. I have over a hundred books I want to read ha. In my future home I want to create a library! Plus I got them for under a 100 dollars, because Amazon is the best.

@anthrostudentcyn You could always ask! They may not get them done in time, but its worth a shot. My last reference FINALLY submitted her letters, two days before the deadlines. I asked her if she could be a reference in September. I definitely deserve an award for my patience! But I already got 10 books from Amazon...

My last reference has finally submitted all of her letters! Now I have to wait for months it looks like to see where I will be for the next two years! My boyfriend is waiting back to hear if he got the government jobs he applied for or not. On one hand I want him to start his career and not have to rely on his savings but I want to be selfish and have him move with me! We were long distance for 6 months and it was really awful.

@Gvh Yeah I guess so, plus I'm sure it varies. The center where I took the GRE checked my ID to see if it was a fake or not. @piglet33 Yeah I thought it was pretty funny too, maybe him and the other bitter people will join forces to become awful super villains haha

How would he get someone else to write the GRE for him? They ask for ID?

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) (Computer Science, Masters (F16) what the.. Apparently, you don't even have to apply in order to be rejected from certain schools.. I would be super confused too. Its like damn they went out of their way to tell me no.

@Pink Fuzzy Bunny Congrats!!

@Pink Fuzzy Bunny Steve Harvey is the only man I will allow to have a mustache, that guy has earned it!

Sounds good to me! As long as we don't have steve harvey being our middle man.....

Seattle will always have a piece of my heart! I lived there as a kid and it's the perfect city in my eyes. I keep telling myself that too if I don't get in. Eugene is more affordable and its in the PNW so I wouldn't be tooo upset if I didn't get into Seattle. I've been able to sell my boyfriend on Eugene since its a smaller city, he hates feeling closed in ha. I just want to know, it would make planning actually possible ha.

I'm the most impatient person ever, I hate waiting. My last reference hasn't submitted any of her letters and my deadline is the 15th....I asked her months ago so its not like I waited till the last min to ask.

And my last reference still hasn't submitted ANY of my letters...whhyyyyyy. The most expensive places I've applied to are Seattle and Boulder. I just started laughing that a similar size apartment was at least 1500-3000. I only pay 500 where I live now.

Things I'm thankful for: Amazon Prime: Because I'm able to order 11 books for under a 100 dollars and get them in two days. My Boyfriend: He is the best! Seattle Seahawks: Since they are an awesome distraction from this application season GradCafe: This is an awesome place to complain and I love to complain a lot. Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David: If I could I would be their best friend forever. I also would like to give a nod to coffee, which is pretty awesome. Cool, I only said awesome three times haha.

If anything you could see if your former high school classmates still have theirs up! I looked at my friends list and saw so many man swoosh bangs and skinny jeans haha.

No idea, I refuse to torture myself ha. Its too late to change it now so I'll just ignore everything! I know that would be an amazing chapter to my self-help book So Help Me.

@gelologist I saw that one just now and was going to post it!

Admissions will most likely be confused if they tried looking me up on Facebook. I have one active profile and 4 other profiles I made when I was a teenager. For some odd reason I thought it was funny to have 5 mes online. Of course I've forgotten the email/password to those so I can't delete them. Btw if anyone had a myspace account you should look yours up. I did and it made me laugh to look back. I was bummed they took down my playlist, it took me hours to find the right combination of angst filled songs haha

My perfect location is near/in the mountains, mild in temperature, decent cost of living and relatively close to a smallish city for work. But that sounds tooo perfect. I know the jobs I want to get after grad school I can't be too picky. I know the furthest southeast I can go is South Carolina. I can't deal with heat and humidity at the same time. I also have to take in account my boyfriend's feelings as well.

@Pink Fuzzy Bunny Thanks, for that! Yeah I'm just dusting my ego off a bit since my professionalism is something I feel very strong about. True about laughing about in the future! If I've never failed at something/did something embarrassing I wouldn't have any interesting stories to tell.

No she didn't but I wouldn't blame her. I'm not a perfect fit so I'm just bracing myself for that reject email ha. Thanks, thats what my boyfriend said. If she doesn't reschedule I won't be heartbroken or anything. It was a pretty campus though!

I've applied to eight programs and I'm pretty sure I have an idea of which ones I'll be accepted/rejected from. I really don't think I'll get shut out from everywhere but you never know. Of course I'm obsessing about my future at the moment. But yeah self doubt is very annoying.
