Happy New Year!

[Dr. Old Bill]

Hey folks,

 

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year...a year that, for some (or most) of us, will be full of radical changes, new directions, and happy relocations. While I personally vacillate between excitement and dread over the prospects of the next few months, New Year's Day has always been my favorite holiday: there's something about the first day of a brand new year that fills me with hope and optimism. And for this year in particular, that is amplified!

 

May 2015 bring all of you happiness and good things!

Happy new year to you too!

Happy New Year, Wyatt! Thanks for always being a positive presence around these here parts.

 

And since there's been a curious lack of gifs lately:

 

 

We made it, folks!

Are we celebrating the death of 2014 or the birth of 2015?

[ProfLorax]

We are celebrating the birth of 2015 and of my beautiful daughter, born on December 18! Hope you are all staying relaxed and confident during this dreaded waiting period!

[Dr. Old Bill]

Holy moly! Congratulations, Proflorax! It puts our various fretting-over-acceptance threads in perspective, doesn't it?

[quena]

wow congrats Proflorax! And happy new year and best luck to all!

Happy new year everyone!! And congrats, Proflorax 

 

I, for one, am happy for it to be January---one step close to hearing back! Though I'm absolutely tired, I've had major insomnia just from the stress of waiting

I second the appreciation for your optimism and good spirits, Wyatt's Torch. Just think - as of midnight tonight, we'll be (basically, assuming I haven't messed up the math somehow) equidistant in time from both 2000 and 2030! The latter still sounds like space-age madness to me...

 

Here's to celebrations and new family members (congratulations, Proflorax!!) and better tomorrows, even if they are space-age. Happy New Year!!

Congrats, Proflorax! How exciting!

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2015! Did anyone make any resolutions?

I'm resolved to get into grad school. I just hope some adcomms are resolved to let me in.

Lol same. I'm resisting a resolution because I'm going to have so much pressure on myself this year anyway with admissions decisions, comps, coursework, and work.
