    I'm tired of going out on boring dates... Like how is it that NO guy is what I want no one is just like a perfect fit.

      gellert

      because perfect fits don't exist. you need to find someone who meets 80% of your criteria and then try to make it work.

    If every year brings an "unusually high number of applicants" to every program, is it still unusual? Dude.

    T.S. Eliot is wrong. January is the cruelest month. And the longest.

    academia.edu says i've been googled four times in the past two days. ugh i'm getting nervous. (and excited!)

    1. gellert

      gellert

      academia.edu only gives results if they find/access your academia.edu profile via the search. but fwiw, my name is extremely uncommon and all the search keywords have included my undergrad institution. so yep, no escaping it, and no doubt it is what it is. :/ (:D? )

    OK. so what about the professor who sends me a form response to an e-mail in which I asked him about research opportunities?

    1. gellert

      gellert

      i agree with newms. i wouldn't read too much into it. it's the start of a new semester. professors are busy, and if this one is famous, he/she is probably even busier than most.
