boxboss Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Never checking grad cafe for the rest of my life...
hellopsy Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I totally get the feeling. I wouldn't say I'll stop visiting the forum entirely, but I'll be so glad when I don't need to obsess over the results page anymore.
digits2006 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 ..... know what state, city, part of the country, time zone of the place which I will be living next semester. Pamphilia 1
Babbling Dweeb Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 ..... know what state, city, part of the country, time zone of the place which I will be living next semester. Ditto. I love adventure...but this is more like torture
martizzle Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I totally get the feeling. I wouldn't say I'll stop visiting the forum entirely, but I'll be so glad when I don't need to obsess over the results page anymore. Definitely agree witchu...I look forward to NOT obsessing over my emails every 10/15 minutes during the work week.
joro Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I look forward to actually knowing where I will go. At the moment, I don't look forward to finding out whether I did get into my first choice or not.
Sparky Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I look forward to not having to obsess over my grades. I'm sure I still will, of course; but I won't have to.
martizzle Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I look forward to not having to obsess over my grades. I'm sure I still will, of course; but I won't have to. true...I look forward to just being back in school, on track with my life...finally trying to figure out what exactly Operations Research (my field) is all about
coyabean Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 LOL good one My mentor just told me last week that, God willing, I will never, ever, ever, ever have to apply to school again. And it hit me! I look forward to feeling like a productive adult with an opinion that matters. And a new address.
Tiglath-Pileser III Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 My mentor just told me last week that, God willing, I will never, ever, ever, ever have to apply to school again. And it hit me! Gee, that would be nice... I wish I could say that myself. I look forward to feeling like a productive adult with an opinion that matters. Good luck on that one, dude. I was never able to achieve that with ten years in the corporate world. I would tell my manager that the computers were going to blow up. And when they did and I would ask my manager why he didn't listen to me, he would tell me that he "liked what the other guy had to say better."
hellopsy Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I look forward to moving out of my parent's place. Finally!
parapluie Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 ...the wait being over! Based on your signature it seems as though it now is! Congratulations!!
afritz87 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I look forward to moving out of my parent's place. Finally! HAH, couldn't agree more. Moving back after graduation to live day to day dealing with the stress of applications and WAITING is definitely not what I envisioned. I also can't wait to get out from under the parents' roof.
Think_Positive Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 ... being able to focus. I find myself so distracted by wondering the mail man has come yet, checking my email, or just refreshing the results board, that it's so hard to focus on other aspects of my life. Anywhere from work to leisure, I find this whole application process to be an albatross on all of it.
The Pseudo grad student Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 ... contibuting to society once again. For the last 4 months I was moping around and feeling useless. It's kinda hard to get rid of a feeling like that when you were at your dream school for a REU internship and then coming back to my old boring life Oh those wre the days...

Anywhere from work to leisure, I find this whole application process to be an albatross on all of it. Same here. I'm been a slob of a worker and I've been neglecting a paper I am working on. I feel like I can pull away for a little bit...but I just get sucked back into thinking about it all again. Sigh.
johndiligent Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I'm looking forward to.. when people ask me how I am or what's new, answering without making reference to my grad school applications.
martizzle Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 living free of worry and stress...moving out of my mum's place....moving on with my life...showing off: "where did you get into...I got into..."
digits2006 Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Im also looking forward and wishing that I can say.. " yeah I am a doctoral student at..."
geichat Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 having a bit more motivation for this last semester of college... and then of course, grad school
