(no subject)
It's amazing how comparatively little stress I have this semester compared to other semesters. I'm pretty sure this is because physics is a more intensive subject than economics, though. And math. At least in terms of homework assignments. Watching Brad die is slightly humorous because I was essentially in the same position exactly one year ago (quantum 1, analysis 1, circuits) as he is now (minus analysis, plus PDEs, complex analysis). Reduced stress is amazing. More evidence that this semester will be beautiful.
Of course, pretty much everything will climax in a giant worry-ball somewhere right after the end of the semester (grad school apps, pretty much), but that's months away, right, nothing to fear. Again, I am hesitantly optimistic that I'll get into at least one of my 95%-sure-to-apply-to programs, I would just be totally ecstatic if I got into Chicago.
Grad schools I'm 95%+ certain I'll apply to:
Chicago (this is actually 99.7% certain)
Yale
Berkeley
Maybes (50%-95%):
Harvard
Stanford
