Drinking + the application process = ... a mess, most likely.

So some lady called my cell phone and left a message while I was at work.  I couldn't make out who she was or why she was calling.  She only said that she would be calling again later that night.

I carried on with my day, finished up my shift, went for a long run and then went out to

LOLs.

Oh man. I got a phone call offering me admission when I was at work (I nanny). So here I was, a screaming 1 year old on one hip, with a cell phone in one hand and a four year old's hand in the other, taking in an offer of admission and funding. Good times.

Congrats, btw!

Fact: your icon is full of rocking.

To the OP: Hahaha, that is an amazing story! Congratulations! Cherish that one, because someday you will be a TA or professor helping to guide a student through the application process and you will tell him or her that story, and it will make life better. ;)

Ooh, that's awesome! Can I ask which school? I've applied to German programs as well, and I'm always interested to know other Germanists out there! Luckily, my top choice didn't do a phone interview...I'd have been a total bomb with or without wine! (I'm awful on the phone!)

That was U of Washington, I've also been accepted at U of Wisconsin... how about you? Where have you gotten in?
