runner12 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Even the weekends aren't safe!! Since we still have Saturday delivery, maybe just maybe, there will be a snail mail delivery from MIT today... If not, i'm sure the letter was just held up by the monster blizzard... Right?!? Right?!? They said it would come by overnight express, so I'm thinking FedEx... I haven't gotten mine yet so I'm guessing it was held up by the blizzard!

Wemayet Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Can we add to your previous (hilarious) GC addiction post? It could move into the "my life started falling apart b/c of Grad Cafe" phase... i.e. i lost my job b/c i got flagged by the IT dept for checking GC all day long... Or, my relationship fell apart b/c i couldn't get through a meal without compulsively checking the results page or sneaking away for a quick forum fix.... All true things (close enough). Add... the purple growth on my temple, I suspect having to do with a brust blood vessel, has now overtaken my hair as the largest feature on my head. Edit: especially with today's addition of another Michigan admit on search results, I'm getting the distinct sense that my hopes of dawning the trappings of the Wolverine are dust in the wind. 2xEdit: grats on Berkley zzzzzzz!!!

balderdash Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 jazzrap, RWGB and adaptations, I am humbled and grateful that you all remember me from a couple of years ago. That kind of support is truly invaluable to me. I spent a fair amount of time discussing the specifics of my qualifications and goals with you and some others during that cycle and it was in no small part those conversations that led me to risk a couple years in a terminal master's. I'm elated that it's paid off. I hope the same happens for you, jazzrap. My story and lots of others here suggests that it could. I think the best thing that I've taken from my two years of intermittent posting at Gradcafe is that there passionate, compassionate, people in this field, whatever challenges lie ahead. To all my babies with me this cycle: rest up. We've got a busy week next week. Congrats from another (lurking!) old-timer. Also, Wisco admits, feel free to PM me any questions.
