I am NOT Okay right now. I absolutely HATE my courses, and even though there's only 2 weeks left, I am MISERABLE trying to pay attention to them. In fact I am in class right now and my prof is just yabbering on and on about nothing and I want to PUKE in her FACE. that is all

I think you should get a DVM, and/or a degree in fashion merchandising

my cat is a genius. I believe this mostly because she's managed to get me to act like a cat more than i've gotten her to do ANYTHING

I want to teach my cat how to use the toilet. Opinions?

Everyone on here is so mean, it's pretty amusing

Specifically do any of you guys know of people who study Robert Musil outside of German departments? I'm thinking like Comp Lit departments with scholars in comparative modernism. Any info you guys might have is appreciated.

Cats really unite academia

She loves the smell of red wine. Is this normal?

Who are we to judge the body of a cat?

Yeah that's the idea

I called them yesterday and they said they aren't 100% sure yet, but it's not very likely to convert. So it goes. I think I'm going to apply to all different departments next year anyway. This year's round of apps taught me a lot about my academic interests.

I would never cynically use my cat for internet upvotes. This isn't reddit!

my cat is 7 months old and she is adorable

Which food should I feed my cat? I hear good things about both programs.

Butler is at Columbia now

double high five! I'm going to apply again. In the meantime I'll stalk Deadinthewater until he admits to being hopelessly in love with me.

My final decision, after much deliberation, is that I won't go to grad school next year since I didn't get in anywhere. It's ok, I have a cat.

i now love cats

Where did you do your MFA?

Santa Cruz has a program similar in structure to Duke's Literature program

Santa Cruz, UCSB, Maryland, and UCSD are all less-competitive programs than the others on my list. I wouldn't want to go any less competitive than that. But suggestions for other schools in that range would be appreciated

Ok, location for me is a factor. I would never want to live in reno or west virginia.

if you just "love" the subject and don't want a job, you can do what a ton of rich old farts do here at my school: audit the classes for kicks and pay tons of money to the school for allowing you to inconvenience the rest of the class with your bloated-old-man speech and your random comings and goings.

agreed

Can you suggest some options for less-competitive schools? I'm already kind of banking on being at CUNY next year, so I don't see any point in applying to schools that are qualitatively worse than CUNY.
