This is great cover for those "fun" coffees I drank this morning on breakJust got an email from work that it's National Have Fun at Work Day.
Do you guys hear that? HAVE FUN AT WORK. RIGHT NOW. THIS IS SERIOUS.
GUYS. I just snagged an II from Emory! I was pretty devastated after getting rejected from my top choice post-interview recently and thought my interview season was over... Imagine my surprise hearing good news from one of my top choices.
Has anyone interviewed there? I'll take any and all tips!
Have you taken Biostats by any chance? I was told that they actually prefer it to Calculus. (No idea why they don't just change the dang requirement!)I knew it was a good decision not to take a class this semester, I can barely come into work without thinking that I would like some time off. And the prospect of working until the end of May and possibly part of June is stressing me out a lot.
On a lighter note, Im on a train back to Boston from my Brown interview. WOW WOW, loved it so much. This certainly changes my school preferences... unfortunately they have a 10 year limit rule for classes and I took calculus 10.5 years ago, which they list it as a requirement We'll see what happens. One more interview to to!!

No prob! I was really surprised, too. I emailed the lovely admissions folks a few weeks ago to ask if it would be acceptable to take Calculus at CC and they told me to take Biostats instead!Really?!? I took Biostats last semester - my last class! Oh my god, you have made my day, thank you!
Congratulations!!! Is this for MD-PhD? I interviewed there and they said decisions wouldn't come out until February.Thank you for all the finger crossing. I got accepted to Pitt!!! So excited!!!

Ugh, FAFSA. I have one school that doesn't consider me emancipated, so on my FAFSA I'm forced to say I'm a member of my parents' household. Now I'm afraid this is going to majorly sabotage me everywhere else, since don't they all see parental info if I have to enter it?
Sigh.
I would check with some of your other schools. I would hope that if they consider you emancipated, they would just ignore that info?Ugh, FAFSA.

Is that one school a favorite? If it is way down on your list then maybe just drop it as a choice?

I thought most schools required the parental info no matter what. I better check into this because I was just going to supply the info.
Strange... My understanding was that if we are financially independent, only our own information is input for FAFSA. BUT, if the school still wants to consider your parents financials for FA purposes, then they will get it through another avenue such as Need Access, etc.
This is correct.@Eccesignum I vaguely remember hearing that if a school doesn't require parental information and it's on your FAFSA, they will ignore it. But, definitely something to follow up on!
My husband and I have redone pretty much our entire house in the past 4 years. With our own blood, sweat, and tears for the most part (we don't do major plumbing or electrical work).Oh man, I'm ready to give my landlord notice of my move out =/ I didn't think it was possible to love an apartment as much as I love my current one. I have so many wonderful memories there, and it truly feels like my home. I almost feel tears building as I write this email to my landlord! Ahrg.
I know that change can be good, and I am ready for this new journey. But, this is hard... It hurts to say goodbye to the place that you've lived for the past few years, especially when those years have been bursting with personal growth.
How's everyone else doing with the prospect of moving somewhere new?

This reminds me of FriendsDying.
I'm not giving up my apartment I finally decided. Rent stabilized in Manhattan? Eff it, I'm subleasing this B. I'll never let go!!
I know the feeling. My wife and I have started looking at places in Boston and realize we will def be downsizing from our current place.My husband and I have redone pretty much our entire house in the past 4 years.

Unless I end up going to the University of Washington next year, we'll be selling the house, so that definitely will be bittersweet. I'm so excited to go explore another part of the US though, and buy another house to remodel.
Wasn't there an episode of Seinfeld where they were all just waiting for my character to die?This reminds me of Friends

Ooh! NO, but I did just buy my cat an *adorable* little blue harness with seat belt attachments. And a waterproof tarp.On a random note, has anyone ever moved long distance with a cat? Particularly a cat that starts yowling after five minutes in the car?

We have 2 cats that will not survive in the car for an extended period of time. Our plan is to tranquilize them and fly them down/over to wherever we move to, which hopefully will minimize the trauma.More than ready. The next few months are going to drag so hard.
Little bit apprehensive though. I've moved all over the states and world but for jobs where furnished apartments were waiting for me, so I've been allowed to be lazy. Now I've got to find my own place (with very little money left to take time off to go scout) somewhere, clear out my apartment, deep clean the place, put everything in a Uhaul, drive possibly 1000+ miles, and move back in with zero help. I know I'll get 'er done cause it needs doin', but it feels slightly overwhelming at the moment.

Also there is kitty Valium if you can talk to a vet. And some herbal things you can use, if you swing that way.
Yeah vet is definitely tricky. "Excuse me sir, what hurts?" "Meow" "What's that now?" *mean death stare from the cat*I've heard you can give them Benadryl but it makes me unreasonably nervous about hurting my precious.
Man I could never be a vet, I'd spend all my time blubbering uselessly.
Do you by chance know what the weight restriction is on cats in the cabin?I have determined that I am going to fly with mine. They make noise in the car, but maybe will be ok at cruising altitude. My boyfriend's dad is a vet and has given us a pill if we need to use it. My friend took her two cats that like to yowl on a plane and she said that they were actually quiet during the flight. Only slightly scared during takeoff and landing. She also said that you can request to go in a small room to take them out of the carrier for them to scan it. The TSA actually prefers it so that there is not an escaped feline running around.

Kittens are so precious <3 I just realized mine are now 3 and a half years old. Time sure flew by.
*sniffle* THEY GROW UP SO FAST
And then the next thing you know they start performing scenes from Beckett...*sniffle* THEY GROW UP SO FAST

I love the current house my husband and I live in. Quiet, forested neighborhood next to a wildlife preserve, with a backyard so big that I would never run out of space for new gardening projects. We've put a lot of effort and money into renovating the house, and I'm balancing between sadness about leaving here and excitement about going somewhere new. We really need to put the house on the market next month but I've been procrastinating doing the final tidying up.
