Offical Email...

Just received the Official Acceptance email from the University. Now they just want me to commit. And in order to ensure/seal that commitment they are asking for $400 as soon as possible, sort of. The deadline to commit/accept is at the beginning of June. But we all know that the sooner that money is sent the happier everyone will be... Not to mention that I'll be $400 low and the University will be $400 up... Those greedy folks... They make me sad. I weep for the world, for the greed that has permeated the air. You smell that? Yup. Anyways, I need to accept their Acceptance, #MetaAccepting or #MetaAcceptance sometime soon. Otherwise they'll take my non-action as a lack of interest. And that's not true. #QuasiBraveNewWorld

Grad School Application...

Hello world, as 3:45pm PST I submitted my application for grad school. Literally went to the office of the professor in charge of graduate admissions and handed it to her. Now we wait for the verdict. This is exciting and mildly terrifying as well.

This tumblr will chronicle my experiences/thoughts regarding graduate school... I hope you enjoy them.

Grad School...

Hi! So as you might know (from the description of this blog) I am applying to graduate school. There's a few things needed in order to complete the application process. Actually, there's a lot. So here they are:

Registering for the GRE

Paying for the GRE

Taking the GRE

Saying goodbye to four and a half hours of your life that could have been spent on Facebook, Tumblr, Netflix, or otherwise lollygagging, because of the GRE

Trying not to panic before/during/after the GRE

Online Application

Realizing that there are a lot of things to fill out, but it's okay because you know the answers to the questions, so it should be fine

Paying for the online application

These greedy folks always want money, what the heck!

Cover Letter

Not panicking while writing the Cover Letter

What the heck is a Cover Letter?

Personal Statement

Figuring out why you're awesome and should attend their program, without specifically alluding to your self-proclaimed awesomeness

Three Letters of Rec

Finding three professors that will write you a letter of rec

Trying to remain calm when realizing that only two professors have written you a letter of rec and need one more before the deadline, which is in two days

Resume/Vita

Realizing that you've done virtually nothing substantial and feeling like some kind of weird thing and begin to question your life and the choices you've made with it

Official Transcripts from all academic institutions attended

Trying to remember all the places that you've gone to school and getting all that stuff together

Writing Sample (optional)

Searching/scavenging for your either your greatest paper, or the paper with the highest grade; technically it should be the same paper, but that might not always be the case
