The question is ... are departments willing to enact this for me? That is how I know I am truly wanted

half way to victory list is my alternative viewing of that letter

As insufferable as those miserable beings who inhabit that state are, there is one thing I will never challenge a Texan on and that is state pride. They are Texans first and foremost, anything else next. Who else celebrates a phony independence day besides them? That's right Texans, I called your holiday malarkey! In the parlance of the streets ... shots fired

Shout! Shout! Let it all out! These are the things we can do without. Come on, I'm talking to you DGS, come on!

IT'S MY DECISION, AND I NEED IT NOW!!!

...if you've been waiting long-term and you need to know now-

CALL D.G.S. WENTWORTH- 877-KNOW-NOW

877-KNOW-NOW?

877-KNOW NOW

...okay it's official. The waiting has gotten to me. I've cracked.

but the SILENCE IS EAR -PIERCING ..... gaaaaaar!

Dammit not the kind of positive news I need ... for the record (in case my future fiance reads this) I am not a parsimonious man by nature it's just that the whole enterprise reeks of "oooo look at me!" I mean granted I look so good in a 3-piece suit, it should be criminalized, BUT I can do that whenever I feel like. Plus everyone says it's not a day about me and quite frankly that would be the worst thing imaginable: me all gussied up and some lady being the center of attention? What is this world coming to?



For the record future wife you are the most BEAUTIFUL person I know and I am grateful for everything you did/have done/are doing for me and you make me a better person

You know, the mark of a true historian is a 49th percentile or lower on the GRE. That means I'll have a tenured chair and 12 monographs by 35

SEE! And they said I couldn't count! That will teach them to put me a special education class! One time for public school (not the English kind) education and one time for C+ students worldwide!

Waiters gonna wait.

Sigh.

Well thank you! I wish you had sat on the ADCOM for the schools that sent those touching and endearing rejection letters. I have gotten acceptances but it's now just waiting out the money game. That kind of silence is worse and I do still have a couple of wild card schools left so here's to hoping!

There is nothing that is in poor in history ... it is just either not in vogue, or not currently accepted but soon to be debated or the latest rage

and in case we want to expand our Spanish vocab today children

Guys!!!!!!!!!! I'm in at Stony Brook and they're nominating me for a fellowship which will "enhance considerably the amount" of $ they are offering!
I'm so stoked. I'm on the bus to the airport and I got an email from the DGS and started cackling and flailing about. I then apologized to everyone on the bus and they smiled at me. Super happy!!
And congrats Twist of Fate!!!

Congrats or as they say in Spanish ... Que Hora Es?

Okay so for all of the Spanish Empire and Latin America scholars. I have your daily dose of language prep:

Tell her not to worry and that you're on gradcafe & you'll score you a harvard man yet!

Tell her not to worry and that you're on gradcafe & you'll score you a harvard man yet!

You should stroll behind some of the students, look @ their papers and gravely shake your head as they've written utter nonsense. Then walk back to your desk & look in their direction and just sigh loudly. I only suggest this b/c it seems mean spirited, missplaced, and utterly devoid of rational, kind of like ....

Cato the Elder was a one track record fella ... Carthage must be destroyed ... he stayed on message ... and eventually he got his wish ... just saying

I will do you one better ... I will be an assistant from Scott Walker's office ... threatening tenured professorships if you aren't given funding
