My apartment building doesn't allow pets (as in, if they find a cat, they let it loose into the forest). So that's one of the biggest things I want to do when I'm in grad school, since I'm 1000000% a cat person. I just don't know that I'll be able to afford it, and I for sure know that a cat wouldn't like a teeny-tiny studio apartment I'm still not sure if I'm adult enough to have a cat. I'm thinking about having a fish in graduate school.
sjoh197 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Fish are cool too. My cat is probably one of the most spoiled cats in existence. But its totally worth it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/139963155@N07/shares/da0v1w Edited February 1, 2016 by sjoh197
raaawr Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 @Pink Fuzzy BunnyI'm sure you'll be able to make it work. I've never had a pet cat before, do they get restless if the space is small? the closest I ever got to cats was playing this app called Neko Atsume where you leave food and toys for different cats and you collect pictures of them. lol
raaawr Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Here's a picture of one of my dogs. Her name is Belle. aksiksi and blueoctavo 2
The Interdisciplinarian Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Well, it's the month I am supposed to find out. Could be anytime from today to the end of the month. Twenty-nine days of stress commences. Here's hoping I'm put out of my misery soon, one way or another. emiliajulia and sjoh197 2
rhombusbombus Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Animal photos! Im taking my dog with me to grad school. Hes been the family pet for 8 years but he's definitely my lil Bubba boo. He sleeps in my bed and get the last bite of most of my food.
raaawr Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 If I get accepted to gradschool I wish I could take even just one of my dogs with me but it's unlikely cause I would most likely live on campus and I'd have to move from a different country. I can't imagine leaving them for 2 years. my babies! lol! @rhombusbombuswhat kind of dog do you have? Lucky you, you get to take your dog! I'm jealous! lol
Katastrophe Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 As an aside: does anyone else feel like they are incapable of concentrating on normal tasks during this application process? Ugh. Suddenly sitting through classes seems painful. I wish every day was Sunday so I could spend a lot of time in bed drinking wine and watching Buffy. amayadoli 1
123hardasABC Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Here's my sweet baby, Lyra. I share a small apartment with my boyfriend and she's more than comfortable. It can be done if the cat has a lazy AF and chill personality. You may have more issues with a rambunctious one in a small living space. I wish I could have a dog too though. :/ I am definitely more of a dog person. Anyway, my lunch menu is brie, crackers, and a Green Flash West Coast IPA. blueoctavo 1

I've been too lazy to do anything lately. It's just, I think I placed all my faith in my future in my grad school application and if I don't pass I think I'm just lost. :/ 3 minutes ago, 123hardasABC said: Here's my sweet baby, Lyra.

sjoh197 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Latte. The white kitty belly I was snuggling with earlier.... emiliajulia and rosali 2
gingin6789 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Omg guys, all these animal photos and I'm out of upvotes to give for the day Your pups and kitties are sooooo cute!! As you can see in my user photo, I have a cocker spaniel! I also have a basset hound. They are both in my hometown though, away from me ... I don't have time to pick out a good enough photo of the pups here, but find me on instagram! I'm gingin6789 (surprisingly).
gingin6789 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 @123hardasABC my lunch is a Lunchable. The little mini pizza kind. Cause I'm clearly an adult. Kath! 1

rosali Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I want to jump on this animal photo train! This is my kitten on the first day we had him. He's about 6 months old now, but I left after we'd only had him for a month, so this is how I remember him. Apparently he's huge now. He's a big baby and wants ALL YOUR ATTENTION. Needless to say, I miss him like crazy.

If you adopt one from a shelter (which you should do!) you could get an older one, since they tend to be more laid-back AND have far lower adoption rates than younger cats. Plus, the shelter workers can tell you a bit about each cat's personality, so they'll know who'd be a good fit for you.
kingslayer Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 WE DID IT, KIDS! I just finished applying to all of my programs! Only took 6 months. I'm trying not to put the cart way ahead of the horse but it's so hard not to. I've been mentally living in all of these places for months. I think that's the problem with applying to universities that you actually want to go to--you can only pick one. I've been upset because all of the people I've spoken to have been nice. My professor said "of course they're going to be nice, they're trying to court you!" but it makes it so much harder. I'm supposed to find out about another acceptance/rejection today, so we'll see. Also, here are my dogs Mumford and Sun. We adopted them two years ago. knp and G 2
Justwaitingforneuro Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Sigh I tried to find a picture of the guinea pig I had as a kid but no luck. Well thanks for the cute animals Does anyone know which the time frame every day is in which adcoms usually send out mails? 9-5 or can you get an email later or earlier in the day?
raaawr Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I am loving all the cute dog and cat pics! so adorable!!

I think it's pretty much whenever they get around to it. We have to remember they have their own research / students / classes / (sometimes life outside academia) / etc. to attend to...which means, you could get a call/email from your POI later at night or an email early in the morning from a departmental secretary. It's going to be a surprise either way. Justwaitingforneuro 1

Nevermind, just give me the interview, even if it is just the day before.
Pink Fuzzy Bunny Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Here's my baby! Unfortunately she's been living with my parents for the past few years while I live away at college, and she's grown attached to their cat so I'm not going to tear her away. rosali 1

February is the month of reckoning...at least it's a short one! @gingin6789 I looked you up on insta (and followed you...) You look nothing like I had imagined in my head!!! Beautiful wedding dress though. If anyone's curious about my insta feel free to DM me - just don't want to put that identifying info out for anyone to see lol. The rest of you...guys, really?!?! All the cats and the dogs! I desperately want a dog, and when I'm in grad school I think I'm going to try and foster for a shelter as it's uncertain as to whether I'll be able to stay in the US afterwards. @raaawr can I please borrow a dog?
