Applying to schools means sucking up to people. A lot of people. And asking questions of a lot of people. Sometimes the questions aren't that important and I already know the answer to them. But the point is in the asking. I knew that this semester would be "back loaded" and tried to prepare my September/October accordingly and set up as meetings as I could. That way, I thought, I would be in good shape when the second half of the semester arrived. It's adorable how I thought I could manage that. I sent out lots of emails. Got very few responses. Until now. The second half of the semester starts next Monday, and on that day, I add on 2 classes (bringing the Monday total to 3) and meet with 3 different professors (one combines my two hated things in the world: an interview and a phone conversation; even more fun, one includes a project proposal I have yet to prepare for; the last one is a mystery bag), and oh yeah, I'll also be leading a lunchtime meeting, and somehow cramming my biostat problem sets in there somewhere.
Bring it, Monday. Only one of us will live until Tuesday.
