faegeSo I'm in the process of applying to grad schools.
I would rate it 10/10 for stress, +5 because they're all in the UK and I'm in 'murica. Also there's the small matter of me graduating a few years ago, so +5 for that and the feeble hope that anyone remembers me over there. Then my academic advisor and the professor of most of my major classes died unexpectedly a year ago, so +1000000 for that because now I have to a) figure out what other professors could write a letter for me, b) figure out which of those professors were ones who taught classes where I performed particularly well, and c) figure out which of those professors remembers me well enough.
In other news, I bought an out of print book from 1978 from Amazon for $40 used. (New copies are selling for about $200.) I know almost nothing about this book except that it has five stars almost everywhere and I had a bunch of gift cards saved up. I hope it's cool?
I'm doing super awesome when it comes to making decisions right now. Clearly. /facepalm
