I'm waiting to hear from 4 schools, 3 of which are waitlists. I know being waitlisted is technically a good thing, but from my current viewpoint, it just sucks. Two weeks until April 15th*. We can do this!
*Yes, I am well aware we could find out after April 15th, but right now I can only deal with now to April 15th...denial is a nice place sometimes. :-)
I use notebooks for grad school classes all the time. I hate taking notes with my laptop and I don't learn the material as well that way. I'm sometimes the only student in my cohort taking notes with a notebook, but that is what works for me so that is what I use.
