Worries: I am waiting for UW Madison iPiB, it's my top choice (kinda). It's a hard school to get in, due to my low-tier undergrads, not so much research experience and low verbal (I have good quant) on GRE. I am worried about the nomination process for my U of Arkansas apps, worried about interview for MSU. I am also worried about the future, the prospect of work after Grad school although I am not even a grad student, the relating status of the school I apply/have been admitted to, the current level of passion for research (not critically alarmed, but totally not 100% sure), the interpersonal aspects of academia, the relationship between me, my PI, and colleagues, the academia itself, my teaching skill, the lack of knowledge for certain stuff, my affiliation for perfectionism, mental states, preparedness for grad school, the imminent mental breakdown, etc. Excitement: The current research I am doing, and will be doing. The papers I will read, the tests I will run, the focus I will have for research once I get into grad school. The fact that I am already admitted to one is an ease of my mind. And the health of my pets (is not related at all but still)
