1Q84 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I know nerves are probably very high for some today so for those of you boring a hole into your inbox with your laser eye beams, come in and blow off some steam! Get a back rub! Have a mojito! We're all cheering for you in here. For those who have made their decisions, whatever they may be, come in and celebrate, commiserate, or simply reclinate (I know that's not a word)! Whatever, let Jim Carrey kiss you on stage! I should add: no matter what we all end up doing, we're all move on from this point. Forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

thepriorwalter Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I sent a crazy paranoid email to the DGS about whether all my paperwork was in (with the graduate school, for a schoolwide fellowship). That's how to celebrate April 15th, right?????? empress-marmot and janaca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empress-marmot Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm looking over reading lists for next semester and plotting ways to avoid buying more books. Mojitos sound good, though! Happy April 15th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how to celebrate April 15th, right?????? YES. I'm told I was officially admitted but haven't received registration info yet. I'm currently staring blissfully at course offerings! I'm looking over reading lists for next semester and plotting ways to avoid buying more books. Mojitos sound good, though! Happy April 15th! Ohhhh... Amazon used book buying is my guilty pleasure! angel_kaye13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCB Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm celebrating... by having my exam defense today. 30 minutes to go. Eeeeep (but also yay that it'll be over soon!) angel_kaye13, margeryhemp and 1Q84 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToldAgain Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm celebrating by writing number my 25th article of the week for a lawyer who specializes in getting DUI cases thrown out of court on technicalities! YAY! Sometimes freelancing is great...sometimes not so much. I am just so happy that I won't have to support myself with this for the next 6 or 7 years. I raise my glass to idealizing the future. Congratulations to everyone who has made tough decisions, waited forever for waitlists to convert, and counted on this forum to be straight with them while their families thought it was odd they were applying to fifteen schools, because they are obviously going to get in everywhere. jean-luc-gohard, surlefil and doc1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windrainfireandbooks Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My U of Toronto sweatshirt arrived in the mail today! *More party music ensues* Yes, I was so excited to have made my decision that I may have ordered one.

And it is gorgeous! I had a lot of family/family friends invested in my decision because of my parents talking up their kids (my sister is deciding between law schools at the moment), so I ordered a Michigan sweatshirt and posted myself wearing the sweatshirt on social media, to alert everyone of the decision. No violating family politics about who to tell first, no leaving anyone out. And an excuse to buy school spirit stuff. silenus_thescribe and windrainfireandbooks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No violating family politics about who to tell first, no leaving anyone out. And an excuse to buy school spirit stuff. I did the same! As a Chicago native, I was in need of a lighter jacket because the nasty winter had finally receded, but all I had were thick coats. Functional school spirit is a thing, as it turns out. windrainfireandbooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgrad2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Contrats to everyone who has been accepted! I just wanted to stop in and find out if anyone has heard any news about BGSU Rhetoric and Writing program? It's past April 15th and I have not received any word. I only saw one acceptance on the results search. Seems kind of late in the game. Can I assume I'm waitlisted or out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloThisIsDog Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 After these past two months juggling waitlists, I unfortunately was not admitted to any program that I could afford attending. I'm going to take a year off and pursue other passions and apply again next year. Congratulations to all of you with dazzling acceptances! It was great interacting with you and sharing in our crazy application times. To those of you staying on for next year as well, see you on this board in a couple of months!
