Day 29

of course, a mere 3 hours after i post about having no news i get 2 emails, one from johns hopkins, the other from illinois, both requesting interviews. are interviews really a good thing? obviously that means i'm on some kind of shortlist but how short is that list? despite reassuring myself 20 times a day that none of this really matters, that applying to grad school was just a fling, a stab in the dark, that acceptance rates start from 10% and work their way downwards, when it comes to it i still find myself palpitating at the thought of having to speak to professors. strangers. i'm a mass of contradictions. i go to get tea.
