I met with them because I was considering working with them and applying to the program for my PhD, but no way. They made me feel small, stupid, and completely incompetent. Basically, they made it clear they thought I had no place in grad school. Glad I know that we wouldn't mesh now so I can cross that program off my list. I can't even imagine spending 5-7 years working with them.

Good thinking. A healthy relationship with your advisor is crucial for maintaining sanity during the process and success at the end. A good one will build you up, not put you down. Those are just small nasty people who we have to learn to ignore. Good luck with your search, I'm sure the right advisor is out there

True! Just gotta keep searching. I think I've been spoiled with the advisor I have for my MA--he is pretty awesome in just about every way.

Just stay organized. Definitely plan things out and keep a calendar. It'll make things way easier!

enjoy!

Oh, I enjoyed every minute of it! Except for the super uncomfortable seats we had to sit on for 4 hours.

Thanks everyone!!! @theregalrenegade: I'm going for the MA in Sociology/Crim...hopefully an anthro PhD down the road.

Awesome!

congratulations!

The fact that one of their lines is "Are we human or are we dancer" says it all really.

The band is from Vegas, what do you expect? ;-)

Ohhh, so true. It seems that I'm befuddled by many song lyrics these days.

me too. i have a gray patch dedicated to last year's application cycle. but hey! congrats on the weight loss haha

I'm jealous, mine was all weight GAIN!

Oh, usually when I'm this stressed it tends to be weight gain, but for some reason the uncertainty of the whole deal has really just destroyed my appetite!

I wish I could take a break...but I've got moving+wedding+making changes to my thesis. Oy! Kind of makes me happy I'm only a non-degree seeking student for this fall!

parr-tttayyyyy!!!

wedding is the most fun part! cannot forget the fun we had in my wedding last fall! Enjoy it most and congrats!
