anxious_aspirant Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Is the brief period of "Oh my god, I'm leaving my decently-paying, real-person job to potentially never have another of the sort again" a normal step in this process? (Speaking as one who's only had about 24 hours to process her acceptance, during which I've been ill to boot. Blah!) All of which then fights with, "I WILL follow my dreams [arms outstretched]!" It's also amazing how quickly my every thought went from, "If I only get in, everything will be perfect" to "Ughhh...I have a lot of books and clothes to move..." Conflicts I am willing to have, though eriksmegs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not really. Congrats! Brandeis has a great program -- good for you. What do you mean when you say you're only just now getting used to it? Disappointed with other results? Whatever it is, I hope you love Brandeis -- I hear it's wonderful in spite of its small size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about your lit and environment interests; I share some of those, so perhaps I'll be seeing you at some conferences in the future! Haha, I have WAY too many interests, but it's sort of consolidating to Queer Black Studies/Lit slowly. Did you apply to Davis? I applied there, but I think I'm out of my depth these days when it comes to lit and the environment. It's been a while now since I've done something pertaining to that field. Still, maybe I'll see you at an ASLE function! Congrats, bud! So awesome that everything is falling into place for folks. Likewise, buddy. Let me know if you take a course at the GC; I'd be happy to give advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripWillis Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Yay Trip! Good for you.You're gonna do amazing - this was an option where you got to live with your SO right? Congrats on that too! Everytime someone on this board successfully navigates that issue for another 5 years get a little more hopeful Yes, indeed! We could've made other options work, but this was the ideal one for a healthy relationship; we've been living together for 2.5 years now and having to live apart would've been sort of a shitty step backward. I feel for anyone who has to deal with that; considering how crazy this process is, I can't believe how fortunate I was to get into an awesome program in such a convenient location. Now I don't have to worry again until the job search. Edited April 15, 2012 by TripWillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
