TripWillis Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Yaaay! I don't check this thread in 2 days and when I return, it's all rainbows and sunshine! Remember when we were angst-ridden just a few months ago? I do. Goodbye to those horrible days! ecritdansleau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butalas Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Just accepted an offer from Boston College for a funded (well, for the first year) MA! Very excited. Anybody else from here heading to Boston? I'll be doing 19th century American literature and critical theory. ecritdansleau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyonessrampant Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Planning to attend UC Davis for the English PhD. Congrats all around! If you're a medievalist (or early modernist) I am jealous of you getting to work with Noah Guynn! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalkingToStrangers Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Congrats to everyone on their final decisions! I admit, I've been lurking (and trying not to lurk) throughout this decision process. But, I just committed to Purdue for PhD in Rhet/Comp after a long and agonizing decision/visiting/pondering process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stately Plump Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 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! I didn't apply to Davis, only because I stuck to schools here on the east coast (it was primarily a method I used to cut some schools from my list...otherwise I would have had wayyyyy too many). Hopefully see you at ASLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you all on the job search in 5-7 years! Congrats, Trip! Exciting stuff right there. Still looking forward to meeting you and other GC members someday, maybe at a conference or something down the road? Also, congrats to everyone getting off of waitlists, making final acceptances, etc. I'm so happy that so many GC members had such successful application seasons! And to those who will be applying/reapplying next fall: good luck! I'll be joining you in all the nail-biting, drunk-posting, and neurosis-exhibiting that accompanies the graduate school application season.

desaparecido Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I love our lives right now. This. Yes. Remember when we were all super stressed? Like, pretty much every day since November, and until ~12 hours ago? This is so much better. We all need to get celebratory drinks. All the GradCafé folks in the NYC area. We all deserve all of the drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you'd like a peer reader when it comes to it. I can't promise I won't be knee-deep in coursework 'round then, but I'll do my best. If you're ever in NYC, look me up. This. Yes. Remember when we were all super stressed? Like, pretty much every day since November, and until ~12 hours ago? This is so much better. We all need to get celebratory drinks. All the GradCafé folks in the NYC area. We all deserve all of the drinks. And so much super stress to still look forward to in the next half-decade (3/4 decade... decade?)! But, for now, let's just revel in the awesomeness of this. I feel a million times better than I did on 11/23 right after I submitted all my apps. We do deserve all of the drinks. Amen. You're on.
