GreenEyedTrombonist Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thought you all might appreciate that I've been going crazy thinking every notification and email is from a school. Well, literally 5 minutes before an interview I decided to randomly check my phone and I actually did have an acceptance! I had to stop reading because there was no way I'd make it through my interview after having read such awesome news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I got help from a few other candidates here who were absolutely awesome and kept me grounded and encouraged me at the same time. They all got into programs, and the last one on the list did this year as well. I'm so happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khigh Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Southern Spice and Minnesota Nice: A Southern Girl in the North Country "If y'all ever ask me if you should move here, I say don't. It's not that I don't love the North, I really do. It's just that I moved up here to get away from y'all. For those that just need to come to the land of ice and snow, have I got a survival guide for you. So, put down your Coke (no really, it's pop here) and learn y'allselves something." You know, this could really work. I'm already cracking myself up and I love the combination of titles that y'all suggested. Wabbajack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because you're applying for a French PhD, Yanaka, I just pictured a French person trying to pronounce "y'all" with a Southern twang.* It went about as well as my trying to pronounce mille-feuille correctly in Paris.

Yanaka Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Counter-shellackleleled! I received an email from the graduate conference of UMD, and after reading the happy first lines “We are happy to inform you...” I thought it was just another hope-lifting apology. But I was wrong!! My proposal for that conference was accepted!!! Aaaaaaa!!! Oh my goodness what the hell is a conference!!!!

JustPoesieAlong Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I am starting to resent the NYT for all of their breaking news emails today. Like, yes, the memo and Russia and all that.
