Meticulous knowledge of the facts. Well, I've got to pull an all-nighter anyway...

Any chance we'll hear from Berkeley today? It's around 4 O'Clock in San Francisco...

Which is why we might as well considering starting our own. We probably don't have too much in common (theory, politics, method), so it wouldn't be a school of thought--so to speak...but we could bill it as the alternative to NSSR...the real university in exile.

Keeping me sane: http://librivox.org/ Spoken word versions of public domain books...including Leviathan and Beard's American history.

Right on. Nor does it prevent us from doing really important work--or working with each other (just like the invisible college during the Scientific Revolution). Collaborative/occasional poli sci blog anyone?

Sorry, that didn't entirely link up...what I meant to finish with was: After this experience, we should all end up the nurturing, responsive types

One could imagine that virtually no one who would be writing our letters could have imagined--when they were applying to graduate school--that people like us would be freaking out about getting in. I get the feeling, reading some dissertations from the golden age of the early 1970's, that Political Science graduate programs were very different places both compared with each other and compared to themselves today.

email from the dept...i think this was actually a mail mixup, hopefully to be resolved soon...i'm just sweating double now after the yale reject.

just found out one of my writers' letters still has not been received at berkeley...gahhh.

Yeah, multiple forms of kudos. Say hi to James Scott, Donald Green, David Mayhew, Ian Shapiro, Seyla Benhabib, Steve Skowronek, et al for us.

aygh
