  5. with less than a month till moving to the states and starting at my dream school at my dream program, am I entitled to start freaking out?!!

  6. The admissions cycle is officially over! I'll miss the anticipation of waiting for that next fateful email in my inbox, but I am SO ready to start the next chapter of my life at Cornell University!!!!

  7. I accepted the offer to my first choice program on Wednesday... today I get an email from the postdoc in the lab (who was away when I visited, so I never met her), telling me how excited she is that I decided to come. It's nice to be in a lab where you're clearly wanted.... :-)

  8. To go out of state or to stay...?

  12. I'm finally done with all my apps!! (Not done with hounding a few of them for confirmation of materials emails) but *officially* done :-) Taking a hard-earned breath!
