Yes. I am sitting at work and want to slam my head against the wall.

I think I'm actually about to snap

Coping with Waiting. Last night, I had a nightmare.
MoJingly replied to Waves's topic in Waiting it Out
Meh. I'm 22 and I remember. Full House isn't THAT old! In other news, I feel like banging my head up against the wall -
talking about personal life on interview
MoJingly replied to aquellita's topic in Interviews and Visits
I agree. Every professor looks for something different in an interview. Follow your gut and get a feel for what they are after. Good luck! -
Interviews? What do they look for?
MoJingly replied to MrOptimistic's topic in Interviews and Visits
This is very true. When I interviewed for MED SCHOOL, this question was all over the place. None of my grad school interviews were nit-picky about any single thing in my resume. The most stressful interview I had was a professor who questioned my background in music and how it prepared me for graduate work in science. "What are you going to do when you fail a class, can't do things right in the lab, and hit these brick walls?" I quite sternly proclaimed that she was misunderstanding how prepared I was. It turned out just fine in the end -
Dear Mike, Again, you're a peach! We know the concept of trolling requires fallacy, but you're really just coming off like an idiot. At least this one is more entertaining than your Chuck Norris comment, however. Any lurkers or gullibles out there, this statement is bogus. Thanks for the smiles Mike! Sincerely, the Grad Cafe.

Dear Mike, If you're going to come on here and troll, at least try to say things that make sense. That way, maybe we can get a laugh instead of just thinking you are an idiot. Sincerely, the Grad Cafe.

The admissions committee for one of my programs is meeting today. Fingers crossed!

I'm stringing mine together: Fellow forumer, please pass the wine. I think we must be crazy. It seems like we only wait. My friends can't be around me. I get mad at inanimate objects. I've gained half my body weight. This is a test of patience. So yes, pass that happy wine. Let's drink and console our fears. May good news come to all.

A few nights ago I channeled my energy into cereal. I got in my car, drove through a snowstorm to the store, and bought a box of lucky charms. I ate the entire thing in two days. EDIT: I wish I were kidding.

So, believe it or not, I'm more of a mess now that I have done all of my interviewing. Now it is COMPLETELY out of my hands, and I know the next email is going to either be "yes" or "no." That's stressful. I've locked myself in my office because I just want to yell at everybody.

I notice that we all just seem to be getting increasingly angry at, well, everything. I am right there with you.

DONE INTERVIEWING
-
I am sitting in the airport to fly to Chicago for my interview. Plane delayed over 4 hours!! (not counting the fact I was SUPPOSE to leave yesterday). How like life.

I'm not sure what I would do in that situation, but here are some things I considered and then decided would not be your best solution (if it helps at all): 1. Accept the friend request and immediately make your status "OMG! FOR REALZ!! Look at my new friend!!" 2. Accept the friend request and send 50,573 Farmville requests 3. Accept the friend request and quickly invite your school to be in a relationship. 4. Send an invitation to your next "CEOs and Office Hoes" keg party in celebration of finishing grad schools applications. 5. Send this bumper sticker: Just some thoughts.

I don't see it being a problem. You might not spend that much time together anyway. Friendly competition never hurt anyone That being said, are you sure that 1) the program accepts you into a LAB and not into a general neuroscience track? and 2) your POI is only taking one person? Those things might change the way you look at the situation.

This snow apocalypse might just prevent this interview weekend from happening at all

Well my flight has been cancelled and rescheduled multiple times... now I'm set to fly in over 24 hours later than originally. I'll be missing the first day of the weekend so they are changing the itinerary (but from the looks of the airport, everybody will be coming in late!) What a bummer. I was pumped to head out.

It depends on your relationship with them. For two of my recommenders that I see every day, I baked a plate of my favorite cookies (they have frequently tried the cookies I bring in occasionally, so it wasn't out of the blue). My other recommender and I have a more formal relationship so I simply wrote a thank-you card.

Dear snow storm engulfing the entire United States: thanks for coming right when I need to fly into Chicago.

Let's be honest here, food choice by a department is a very important thing. And I'm not even joking!
-
Um, you mean acceptances. Only acceptances. No rejections.
-
Here's a fact: I just had an interview last week. I told the interviewer I was worried about my 4.0 on the AW. He said, "don't worry. It won't keep you out of anywhere."
-
Leaving for my last interview on Wednesday. I would REALLY love an itinerary... anytime now...
