I am, as I had written before, 24, but this application & waiting time took 10 years out of me, so i'm 14 now, thank you very much.
This anxiousness really is like puberty all over again.

Hello all, this is my first message to the forum. I just wanted to say for the record that this is the best and worst website for hopeful graduate students. I don't believe any explanation is necessary here. We all know what I mean.

I've had a particularly disappointing week, consisting of three rejections. The remaining four programs have yet to tell me their decision. I'm eternally optimistic, however, and I appreciate all of your enthusiasm and good luck wishes.

I'd like to vent briefly that as much as I love my professors, their strong belief in my academic potential and their unsolicited ego-boosting have only left me with higher expectations than I originally wanted to have in this process. It's time to bring myself down to earth and wait patiently. If it works out, it will work out. If not, I could always try again or just move on. The last option of moving on is not very common for me, so I guess I'll be trying again next year if I find myself without an acceptance.

Again, thanks to all of you for being so positive and, above all, gracious in your acceptances and rejections. I have so much hope for our generation of scholars.

I wish all of you the best.

And GradCafe's zombie apocalypse plan! Actually they are like zombies, they are just picky about whose brains they want.

I'd like to become a Potter.

If I don't get in, I'll be applying for Hogwarts. If they reject my PhS (philosopher's stone), I'll just go for MA (muggle area).

That is all.

Kisses and hugs of reassurance to those who need one.

Day 1, Monday


I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing. I'm refreshing.

Prepared for day 2.

I love nature. And syntax is the closest to botany I'll ever get. Damn trees!

I love you.

(Day after you turn in applications)

"Any news yet?!?!"

I hope you don't mind. I had to turn this into a rage comic I hope you like it!

I gave up explaining linguistics as well.

Before:
- Hey there, what are you applying for?
- Linguistics, historical/comparative.
- The same as your BA and MA?
- Yeah.
- So... is that a science or what? How many languages do you speak? You're going to be a translator, right?
- :AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH:

After:
- Hey there, what are you applying for?
- Languages.
- Which one?
- All of them.
- Cool.

It's easier.

We are the GradBorg. Refreshing is futile. You will be admitted.

The schools should make an RPG in which the hero is our almighty WannabeGrad. There are 10 big levels, and you have to collect data, documents and LORs instead of coins like Super Mario. You fight one member of the admission committee after completing each level. And to stay alive, you have to refresh your status every 30 seconds (it's like checking inbox). If you fail to defeat the last boss - your POI - there's a consolation prize - you get another game (a new acceptance) for free via snail mail in March!

I should do this, really. This is my new research proposal, could be good for Comp. Sci., Psychology etc.
