In order to prepare for an interview I looked through many related topics on this forum and made lists of: a) questions I should expect to be asked b ) questions I should ask interviewers (these will be a bit different for each school)

Does not seem rude to me. But do it later, after you have got an offer, as Hello has said.

I knew that! I mean, that it's a bird and a bush, not the exact names of species

I like foxes. I think they are cool. Foxes are red, which explains, partly, their coolness I have red hair. Also, my name sounds almost like "fox" in my native language. Why strange? I guess, being a bit strange, somewhat different from others, is kinda nice

I think you should move forward and I am sure that you can. If you want to continue with your studies, you need to do that. I agree with the above posters, their advice is very good. I know that there are people with bipolar disorder who have accomplished a lot (Stephen Fry, for example). Read their stories and you'll see that it is possible, even though it can be quite difficult. Remember, the more difficulties you overcome, the stronger you become. Just don't let yourself stop trying! Because I am sure you can pull through. I really do not understand why bipolar disorder carries such stigma... I think that's strange and unfair... Good luck!

Please don't kill yourself! You gotta tell this story to your grandchildren! It is wonderful!! I am sure it will be fine. Good luck!

So true! It's the wisest saying I have heard in a long time! I'll be 27 in fall 2011. But I already have one PhD - from my home country, not from an American university, though.

I think it's great that you are doing that! I prefer to do things in advance as well. I have looked through many good threads on this forum in the sections like "Waiting it out" and "Decisions, decisions". I wanted to understand what can happen now after I have submitted all apps and how I should act. I did not just find answers I was looking for, - I also found questions that I had not even known I needed to think about This forum contains a wealth of information, you just need to search! I also started compiling questions that I am going to ask during phone interviews - because I am sure I will get some! I look through websites of schools I applied to and think of questions that I want to ask about each school. And I put all of them in separate Word files. I've also read about questions that I should expect to be asked and I practiced answering some of them, not be caught off guard with some tricky "What are your weaknesses?" question And I am going to continue preparing for interviews.

That's an unusual phobia! When I was young I had a phobia of darkness. I cound not sleep without light! Even now I prefer to have a little lamp on at night Oh, and another (not particularly unique but rare, I guess) thing about me is that I don't like alcohol. I just don't understand how people can get a kick out of wine or beer, let alone champagne! I've been drunk only once in my life and I did that on purpose because I was really miserable that day. It did help, but only for about a couple of hours. I don't like tea and coffee. I drink tea mostly in cafes or at my friends' and I almost never drink coffee - may be a couple of times a year. My favourite drinks are juice and water (cold, no sparkles)
