  1. I like this. Wish I could do this by late Feb.
  2. it's inspired by a phd comic I saw where the girl in the red sweater (stacy?) meets her colleague, who is now successful, married, and happy. Meanwhile, Stacy is "sitll in school". In that sense, it's depressing.
  3. I've always thought it'd be depressing to finally graduate from school at the ripe age of 26 or 27, but I guess I'm just a young blood here. I wonder if the tight job market is causing people to go back to school.
  4. no but I recently moved to Texas, and I see baby roaches once in a while. This is my first experience with pests, and they're making me paraniod. I'm pretty sure there's one currently residing in my alarm clock or computer.
  5. I took my time during the passages, and got most of the questions right. Just read it once, and go back for more specific info for each question. I breezed through the verbal parts though, mostly because I had no idea what the hell most of the words mean, and didn't bother with Latin roots.
  6. I had a dream the other day that my mom and dad were cockroaches.
  7. I heard that letters of recommendation might be a key indicator if someone's getting nothing but rejections year after year. Judging by your screen name, I'm going to take a wild guess that you're international. Perhaps your professors aren't very well known, or something like that. In addition, it may also indicate that grad school isn't necessarily the right choice. I've been thinking about lab technician positions. If you're a science/engineering major, this might be worth a consideration. As far as I know, they work 12 month contracts, and you get to work closely with the professor and get some serious in person exposure. If all goes well, I think this could be a great chance to get into a school, because they're not going to take someone they've seen only on paper over someone that they know will be a good addition to the research group. My old roommate applied several times to ISU's stats program, which is in the top 5. This was while he was doing a PhD in physics. God knows why... But I read his SOP, and it wasn't stellar by any means. But I know that he has worked with professors in the department, and got in and enrolled after completing his physics PhD, despite two rejections in previous years. I mean of course he got rejected. How does one justify doing a physics and stats PhD at the same time??? that's dumb.
