    Well, I just turned down my first Ph.D. offer. Sounds crazy to say that...

  3. bdon19

    So, so close to committing...I can feel this process slowly dwindling to a close, and it is a fabulous feeling.

    I have fallen in love...with a program. With the program, the people, the campus, the town. Everything about this place is just perfect.

      Are you talking about Chapel Hill? I know that's where you were leaning. I was just there on Tuesday. We should have met up!

    Super excited for my two visits over spring break!

    Conferences are so weird. Fun, but so so weird.

      I totally agree. Before I ever went to one, I thought it would be a huge circular room like the UN or something where everyone made speeches... Then I found the odd academic creation called the conference.

      I've been to two; one was totally and completely the weirdest thing ever and the other was absolutely enthralling. Guess those are the two polar options.

      I've been to 2 of the same conference (2 different years). seemed pretty ordinary to me.

    It's really nice for that first official rejection not to hurt. :D Still over the moon, with 9 programs to go.

    Why did I apply to grad school again?

      Maybe we can get tax deductions for our "charitable donations" to all those schools?

  14. bdon19

    Just got accepted to present at a conference I thought I'd surely been rejected from. Maybe this bodes well for schools as well...?
