I am specializing in institutional critique artists/works and contemporary art museum practices. My research relies strongly on psychoanalysis. Anyone else?

I can't wait to have real coffee back in my life. Decaf just doesn't cut it. I think it will be great to raise a child in the academic environment. I just hope I can make enough time for the dissertation and plenty of attention to the kids. I'm also hoping to find a school with a good day care program!

Good to know that others do this academia thing with kids. I'm 5 months pregnant (we timed it so I'd deliver after the end of the Spring semester), and I'm getting nervous about facing a PhD path with babies. That doesn't mean I won't be overjoyed when I get accepted somewhere.

Well, since so many schools are still "sorting through their mail", as I've been told by 3 different institutions, I can't get too nervous yet. I think that's just a standard response, though. Two of my applications are shown online as submitted but not completed. One glitch with dates on my GRE scores and another where they received one of my school's transcripts but not the other. I was told by that school that even though the two transcripts were attached to one another, that they might have been put into different piles in the sorting process, and I'll just have to be patient for my application to be listed as complete. It doesn't help that the particular application was submitted over a month ago, and they still have it listed as incomplete. Oh, the panic. I guess I'll only start getting really nervous once I see other people submitting results from the schools I applied to and I haven't heard anything.

I've applied to seven: U of Pennsylvania Penn State U of Wisconsin U of Minnesota Northwestern U U of Chicago Johns Hopkins No word yet. Anyone else?
