Yes, I am behind in my Harlequinfetus emulation. Perhaps I set my sights too high in the first place by trying to emulate someone as amazing and brilliant and actually possessed of a good background with which to apply ( Read more... )

Good trying!

Doesn't it cost like a zillion dollars to apply to all of these programs?

Ahhhhhhhh I still have a beard in that picture :(

Super trying :) :) :)

Yeah, pretty much. I spent all the money I had left and then asked for my Christmas present to be my parents helping me pay for all the rest. Every set of two transcripts (of which I needed up to 3 for each application) was about $12, the GRE is effectively $10 to send to each school, application fees range from $35-90, sending all these packets out was about $5 each ... I think somewhere in there is a very large and very sad number.

Maybe you could earn it all back by publishing an ironic collection of your rejection letters?

I have heard of doing things ironically before, but never actually tried it. This may warrant further investigation.

Completely and utterly unrelated: I found a semi-nice fabric briefcase buried under some things in my parents' house, proudly emblazoned with "International Congress of Philanthropy 1988 - Toronto." I now proudly, and clearly not at all ironically, carry my dad's old-school Political Science conference swag every day. I hope I am on the cutting edge of ironic fashion choices with this. I also hope it holds up long enough for me to get through grad school with it!
