You are right, that is better.

You can try asking them about that, but I think the chances are low. On some school's websites I've seen they say that they do not do such things. But there always can be exceptions. I believe there won't be any harm in addressing this question to a grad coordinator. The worst what can happen is that they'll say "No".

It's so sad when your family does not support you... I am sure they love you, they just do not know enough about academia. There MUST be people in your life who support you, though - talk with them about your plans and don't talk with your relatives about that. If they try starting a conversation with you about your future, just say firmly: "I appreciate your opinion, but I believe I know what I am doing. Now let's talk about something else." Don't let them depress you.

I looked to my left. I immediately and fervently wished that I'd looked to my right. There was a large green tree. Its branches looked contorted from the wind, but there wasn't even a breeze. A single, luscious pear hung from the highest branch. Unfortunately for my starving stomach, the trunk of the tree was crawling with enormous spiders. Undaunted, I reached for the pear, and upon grazing it with my fingertips, it turned black, shriveled on the vine, and released a pungent cloud of milky smoke. "What the ...?!" - I thought and woke up.

Very interesting! May be I need to get myself a Twitter account... I'll think about that

Cool!

Oh. I can't move, so I have to live with my spiders... I believe that one can (and probably should) fight one's phobias (it's my humble opinion, of course). And I think that spiders have much more reasons to be mortally afraid of us than we - of them I have mentioned earlier that I had an intense phobia of darkness when I was a child and even yet feel somewhat uncomfortable at night without lights on (and I am 27!). But I make myself sleep in the darkness sometimes, because I believe that fighting my fears makes me stronger.

And how do you find a professor on Twitter? I once found a couple of profs on Facebook, but Twitter...

The other night when I was lying in my bed I noticed that a spider was descending from the ceiling and the beast fell almost on me!!!! After that I looked carefully at the ceiling and noticed another spider, who was seemingly hesitant as to where to descend. It was wandering to and fro right above my bed and instead of peacefully falling asleep I had to lie there looking at the doubtful creature!

silent partner

I think it's a very good opportunity and you've approached it correctly, following the profs for a year. They must notice you after that! Good luck and keep us posted!

How about talking to the professor who suggested you should consider the training program? Tell him about your concerns. Perhaps he/she can give you some valuable advice on how you can solve this problem. Good luck!

Wow, that's much cooler than my mundane fear of spiders!
