Oh my god. This applying to graduate school thing is getting way out of hand. I'm suddenly applying to nine schools, and I need to look for some fellowships (which means it will be like applying to thirteen schools).

So far, the best news I've heard is that Graduate School Is Free.

I'm horribly, madly in love with UCSF.

Oh, and I emailed the lady who discovered telomerase (she works at UCSF) and she says she's looking for grad students and might be interested in me. And Noller is going to write me recommendations. For those of you who are non-scientists or who don't know who Noller is... just be excited. Be really, really excited.

In addition to being really excited... does anyone want to help me fill out nine different applications, while I study for the GRE, which is in three weeks? :-P ...Didn't think so.

I'm thinking of changing my Life Plan from Get Ph.D., Live Happily Ever After to, Do Not Drown in Graduate School Application Paperwork.

I printed the Cambridge application. It's 25 pages long. This is me having a nervous breakdown....

Thanks! Keep me updated with how you're doing, too. Haven't heard much from ya lately...

I'm thinking of scratching Yale and Cambridge off the list and adding Harvard and Caltech. I don't think I meet the entrance requirements to Cambridge... and there aren't any interesting researchers at Yale.

*hugs*
