1Q84

I have--I'm taking required intro (boo, too), a seminar on medieval literary thought, a history seminar that's a broad overview of recent medieval historiography, and auditing a comp lit seminar on desire in medieval Latin lit!

I'm freaking out a little this semester as well. I didn't take more than six hours my first year of grad school now I've signed up for nine hours; group counseling, clinical mental health, counseling children and adults. Freaking out can I really handle this load and still be a good wife and mom.

@unraed ooooh medieval desire! chain mail and roses all that good stuff

@threeboysmom yikes! sounds like you'll have to do some hardcore efficiency and time planning before the semester starts. i'm sure you'll rock it!

congrats!!

Congratulations!!

Way to go!

You are so close! You can do it! And then you are going to go and be a rockstar at USC!

Thank you!!!

Writing 18 pages in three days has my head spinning but... yes, almost there!

Congratulations! You give me hope!

Wow, awesome!

Yay! Congratulations!

This wins the Internet today.

YES

Manifest your destiny. Keep thinking those positive thoughts!

You're telling me. And it's not over yet. Dun dun dun.

Agree. How ironic is that given that February is, in reality, the shortest month on the calendar? Hang in there. It will be over soon. Good luck.

This has been the longest week of my life. I think next week may be longer.

Might make sense for a science degree, quantum... not so much for a humanities degree

Total bummer...I worry I am in the same position.

Ack! Hope it works out for both of us smg. It's still pretty early during notification season... departmental matters and budgets may shift by April, perhaps?

hang in there *hugs*

Dont give up yet. It just takes one. Stay Positive.

Hang in there, my friend. I can definitely empathize, however. It's hard to focus on schoolwork when your potential career as an academic hangs in the balance.

Oh, yes. +100 points for this status!

word

I'm sure it's no consolation, but you're definitely not alone in that. All I can think about is the things I would do differently.

Why, though? You're such a strong applicant, I think, and surely it's too early for such talk!

@kurayamino Thanks! In a perfect world, we'd all get at least one, eh?

@unræd I appreciate the vote of confidence! I guess I just really had my heart set on USC and it's been a tough first blow to take. You're right.. it is early, let's hope the rest of the season goes better.

i know. but at least it's all coming up soon!

Indeed! This was a celebratory status

Congrats!

I have to wait on one LOR to actually say that my apps are complete and I will be able to step back and do my research, and TA an advanced EM course
