rachelann1991 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Hi, all! I just accepted an offer at Stony Brook, so I thought this would be a great place to say where we're going this Fall and to celebrate after a long, difficult journey! Congratulations to everyone, and good luck to all who are still deliberating! Academicat, back2black and iExcelAtMicrosoftPuns 3
iExcelAtMicrosoftPuns Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Yay! I bet it feels nice. Academicat 1
ArthChauc Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Congrats, all! I'm glad to finally join this party. I'll be attending the University of New Mexico to get my Ph.D this fall. I thought I'd feel more relieved, but now I'm overwhelmed by the thesis I've ignored for a month. Oops. Nyctophile 1

Academicat Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 It's Ohio State for me Ohio State for me, too. Toasterazzi, did we meet on visitation day?
toasterazzi Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 It is entirely possible/probable. But there were so many people that I have no idea. I was one of the people that lamented about grading annotated bibliographies though

toasterazzi Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Haha I didn't so much mind grading them as long as the directions were followed hehe
shortstack51 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I have to grade ~60 freshman business students' papers by Monday evening.... toasterazzi 1
lyonessrampant Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I'm grading about 20 revised papers written by my Brit Lit I (historical survey of British literature) class, and I must say, they've done some nice work and I'm actually enjoying grading them Don't mean to rub it in or brag, just wanted to point out that once you get to the point where you teach lit courses in your subfield filled with more advanced undergrads, the grading drudgery gets better!
toasterazzi Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I'm working on grading 50 proposals right now, and then they turn in their final research papers in a couple weeks. I actually don't mind the research papers though because I make them all pick different topics from each other so I don't get bored

shortstack51 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 You'll love it! I will indeed had a blast during my visit! And I am sure you'll be happy at Duke, of course though I'll certainly miss the opportunity to have had you in the same program!
