starvinggrad

I'll be moving from the East Coast to the West Coast. Last year I was on the other side of the world, though, so the transition shouldn't be too rocky. My main concern is mostly handling the living costs of my new environment (LA). Plus I'm worried I'll be able to find a part time job and get around ok without a car. But I guess I'd be worried about this wherever I go. I also have a SO, but we've talked a lot and are cool with the move since it's for the best. We'll be keeping in touch with each other often. I'll miss her for sure though.

No response on this end. I'm guessing I was waitlisted if not rejected. Best of luck to you.

I keep thinking that maybe my acceptance was just a mistake and they're going to take it back any day now, or that some stupid minor detail will prevent me from going to grad school, or that it's all an elaborate prank, and that sometime between now and the time I'm expecting to go to grad school, I'm going to get an email saying "LMAO, U fell for it u n00b!!! LOL! what a L053R! w3'r3 just 2 L33T 4 U, 5UCKA!!! ~from University X". But I'm scared mostly because of where I'll likely be moving. I'll be going from Boston to LA. I'll be without a car, and I heard public transportation is a nightmare in LA. Plus there's the high rent that I'll have to deal with. I'm unemployed at the moment so anything money-related is guaranteed to make me wince. I imagine I'll be living off ramen for my first year :twisted: I'm actually extremely psyched that I'm going to grad school, though. It's just that I keep worrying about everything that could trip me up.
