  1. yes sir Martizzle..I can't wait to hear that fat lady sing this month!
  2. GIVE ME MY ANSWER NOW!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

  3. Sorry for making any hasty generalization in my post, but in my opinion I believe taking out thousands of dollars in loans and passing on a film-related job in Los Angeles that could potentially make me a "made man," (as what some of my colleagues put it) solely so I can pursue graduate school in order to become a professor would (for me) count as a sacrifice; at least to some degree. I suppose a sacrifice in any relevant instance for any of us could depend on what we count it as, so I do agree with you, jillxi, that your job is a sacrifice, as well as grad school being a privilege.
  4. Well, that took a hefty chunk out of my laborious day at work today...and now that I'm caught up to speed with everyone else who hasn't been admitted anywhere, I've gotta say that I feel just a wee bit better. So, thank you everyone for your posts. For those of you on the brink of insanity, you are not alone. I have become irrational since being rejected and awaiting my last school. For example, I recently quit my job in Los Angeles. Not because it's bad or anything, but I just don't see, don't FEEL myself pursuing the field I (not for long) work in. Of course, being a Y-generation youngster, my parents are definitely not going to approve of this. (I still live with them). Do I have money? Hardly. A plan? Not really. But am I closer to knowing which career path I should focus my attention to? Abso-darn-lutely. I guess what I'm trying to say is is that many of us on this forum are too stubborn to settle on a job/path we KNOW isn't right for us. And that's not a bad thing. The fact we are willing to sacrifice so much just to do what we truly want is pretty miraculous. And whether or not we get in anywhere, we're going to get what we want eventually because those are the kind of people we are. Relentless. Yeah, I dig that word. Relentless. So, how about we set aside the pain and personal anguish these godforsaken schools are putting us through and just realize what kind of people we are, regardless of this years' outcome. Because, like I said, if things don't go our way now but we persevere and keep being who we are, someday, one day, we'll get there. We have to. And we will. My first drink this weekend is going to be a big, fat cheers to all of us still waiting.
  5. Any word yet, Killy? I'm on the brink of emailing/calling for inquiry...
  6. That's awesome guys. I'm glad to hear you're both in. I'm still waiting to hear back from UCR's creative writing program (my last hope of attending any grad program), but I'll let you know once I receive word.
  7. Oh geeze thank GOD! I only applied to 2 other schools (both rejected) so UCR is my last hope. I feel so much better now knowing there's someone else out there..
  8. I'm still waiting for a response from UC Riverside...it's March 18th. PLEASE tell me you are in my same boat.
