I feel lucky that CUNY is about 4-6 (depending on if an express Q comes) subway stops from me, and Rutgers is 41 miles or so. Amherst is not even too bad. Buffalo woulda been a huge bummer.

Congrats, galoup!

55?? Why on Earth is their waitlist that big in the first place? So weird...

Wow, it works.

I just saw that someone got into Berkeley super early off of the waitlist. Congrats to you! I take this as an early sign that we will all get in off waitlists to wherever we want to go ever.

Woo! Way to go, user name!

No, we're all just scheduling individual visits.

Way to go, Rupert!! So psyched for you!

I saw this before and thought the same thing. Hilarious.

rrrrrrrrrrrr Downton Abbey season 2... damn my not having tv.

I like "Adams" a lot. The word "wonk" always makes me crack up.

They are worse than most things.

It should stay that way forever. I wish I were that lucky.

BLLLLEEECHHH to both. Downton Abbey on Netflix FTW. #drunken judgmental attitude

For one of your SEMINARS??? WHAT IS THIS COOL ASS CLASS THAT I MISSED???

I assume this is a reference to the dowager on Downton Abbey.

You almost made me -1 you on rep points. Especially because you didn't make some important distinctions. Star Trek II, IV, and First Contact > Everything after The Empire Strikes Back ANH and ESB > Star Trek on the whole Star Trek on the whole > Jar Jar Binks prequels and Return of the Jedi

Really? My sister recommended this too. I'll have to check it out. I just re-watched Star Trek: First Contact for the first time a while. It is awesome. This and Star Trek II (and IV) is da best ones. Also, I am drinking right now. Yay! Star Trek in the canon FTW. Serious. 'Specially TNG.

While I don't believe there are truly any books NOT to read, I would not give high priority to reading any Henry Adams, if I were you guys. Incredibly important as historical documents, and mandatory reading for Americanists, but of almost zero relevance to anyone else not interested in amateur metaphysics and the "wonderful unity" in medieval aesthetics. His description sucks the life out of any interesting topic you could think of: politics, art, national difference... all of it. It's also pretty anti-semitic.

I need to make a 0% Confidence I Will Ever Get Over My Thesis Writer's Block thread. Because that's how I'm feeling right now. God, I just have to finish this chapter and the first draft is done. UGHHHH.

I can understand the desire to give them bear hugs; they're really nice e-mailers.

I wrote an e-mail asking some questions about the program, but I decided not to pressure her for an answer on my waitlist position. I think we just have to be patient; these places can't really know much until after prospective open houses, right?

I like Nostromo...
