If I do not get in, I will drink a bottle of vodka (or even 2 bottles), then I will cry for two weeks saying that I am worthless nullity. Then I will go to Siberia for 3 months to clear my mind. And then I will try to apply again. If I fail for the second time, I will marry a rich guy and have a dozen of kids.

If I get into my top choice, I'm moving up there early and taking Estonian for the summer, which is something I've wanted to do since I was like 14. If I have to go somewhere else, I will sulk and pick the best fit for me with respect to funding.

Other plans include becoming a madame, owning a sustainable bakery, moving to all the cities I'll have to just hope I get a job in if I ever receive my PhD, moving to one of the states nobody likes and having a farm with a couple goats, lots of chickens, and a giant garden...

If you end up opening that sustainable bakery, let me know...

I will need employees...

My phrase is, "I'm a political scientist by education, a pastry chef by trade, and incidentally fluent in French."

Baking is my day job, and I would love it, if it included reading more books, all the time.

I have two what if's. I'll either apply for the digital learning internship at MoMa or get two jobs back home and start taking German language courses. Then once I felt like I could handle the application process again, I would probably apply for PhDs instead of MAs. The only reason I didn't this time around is because my German isn't good enough.

Nothing crazy, though. I guess I could go live with my grandparents and work at Disney world.

I pretty much lapsed into an alcoholic fugue and stayed in it until I was ready to confront the application process again, a couple years later.

Well, after a few weeks of alcoholism, I believe I will try for World Socialist Revolution.

Realistically, I will probably do my best to find work as a "shovelbum" until I'm no longer physically capable. Then maybe I'll get a teaching certificate or go to mortuary school or something.

That said, I'm already kind of "depressed in advance." Oh anxiety.
