It's my master's results today. I open the cursed website and see that I have EIGHT rejected applications, including one for a master's at MY own university. I have 4 left, on the waiting list for each, and realistically, only one will offer me a place given my ranking compared to the last person accepted last year. Except it's a master's program that's not really related to my career goals (it's more phylogeny/evolution, whereas I want to work in conservation ecology, so... (even though I don't hate phylogeny, etc.)). So, I'm going to waste a year doing a year of a master's i don't care about, only to have to go through the devilish monmaster application process again???
I also forgot it's an international master's program, it's such a pain. I'll have to go some random town in Germany to do a semester of a master's I don't even want to do... And it's nowhere near where I live, so I'll have to find a place to live and all that. I honestly feel like throwing myself under a train. On top of that, my final results come out in a week and I still haven't found a job or anything to do during the holidays...
