gradcafe- how much is too much?

Recommended Posts

I suppose I am probably too preoccupied with this, and my boyfriend teases me for spending too much time on this and similar websites, as well as lending way too much credence to what I read here. I am so troubled by this whole thing that I have started to do homework days ahead of time and am going to the gym regularly for the first time in my life because it gives me something to do other than sit at my computer periodically checking my email and status sites.

there are OTHER websites like this one?! what are they? i need to diversify! people don't post quickly enough for all my refreshes ^_^

I second that. The banner can be the TARDIS hidden in various works of art throughout time.

YES. It will be like Van "Goff" all the time! Hrm, how do we make this happen?

Edit: Could we call ourselves "Art Whostorians"?

I like GradCafe, but I had a moment earlier this week. A school said my decision was mailed. Given that last year's results had acceptances being called, I was sure I got rejected.

Then I got home...and I got in to the school.

Art Whostory! The domain is unused. We'll wield Sonic Slideclickers and defeat the Daleks with dazzling aesthetics.

Edit: Are you sure that Pollock is a fake? "Trust me, I'm the Doctor!"

Also: Of COURSE our enemy is the Master..."He dropped out before taking comps!"

In my 'humble' opinion it's only too much when you're wearing NASA-approved diapers to travel cross country to berate the Adcom for taking too long to make a decision. Outside of that, it only becomes too much when it is the only focus of your life

I have other interests. I swear! I just can't think of them right now.... :(

YES. You, me, cokohlik- we should do it! I am completely convinced that this is brilliant. Now... how do we start a website?

We would have the BEST companions. Giselbertus, check. Reubens, check. Maybe a brief stint with Manet for kicks.

And the world could finally have an architectural plan for the TARDIS!

I am laughing so hard I am going to pee myself. But how to work grad school into the mix? I'm imagining an episode where we're tired studying for COMPS and the Doctor bursts in, informs us that Rembrandt has been kidnapped and he needs our laser pointer to help free him from the evil clutches of...Jasper Johns? And our admission to the top school of our choice depends on procuring a glowing LOR of Rembrandt once we've successfully freed him....

Don't you listen to those naysayers!

Oh, believe me, I don't. I have all sorts of rationalizations about how I'm actually less crazy with Grad Cafe than I would be without it. Sometimes, I even believe my own arguments!

I don't think anyone really knows of my addiction/craziness. My fiancee half notices, but he doesn't really "get" this whole thing, so I don't talk to him much about it except for a weekly freak-out. Is it worse to be a closet crazy? :P

In fact I say THEY are the crazy ones if you ask me!

Closet crazies are the best b/c when they unload everyone is like ... "I did not see that coming"

Haha!

My husband checks the GC as much as I do. So romantic. ;)

This really made my heart melt. The next romantic movie should include this as part of the storyline. Some sort of misunderstanding could occur because of the GC forum, causing tension only to be resolved with the realization that the two just wanted the best for one another all along.

Haha!
