That moment in every baker's life
When you can’t wait for the stupid dough to rise fast enough and to make it worse, you can’t tell if it doubled in size.
am i growing up?
I feel like I should be crying in the corner of a closet somewhere but I’m strangely optimistic. Cautious, sure, but optimistic nonetheless.
I think what’s keeping me sane is knowing that nothing is permanent. This feeling of emptiness, misery, failure. While I’m experiencing them now, I know it won’t stay with me forever. And I know that later down the line,...
the professor: what are you doing?
j: I'm looking into going to an ashram in the Bahamas
the professor: oh, you'll be just fine
j: I know, but yoga on the beach sounds really nice
the professor: what do they feed you there? cabbage?
j: "a yoga diet is a vegetarian diet"
the professor: are you eating right now?
j: yeah, I'm having a steak and egg and cheese bagel from McDonald's
the brain works in mysterious ways
so sometimes, my mind does this weird thing where during my sleep, i can explore stuff. (i know this sounds like i do a lot of drugs, but really, i’ve only mixed tequila and pain killers and that was back in high school)
so early this morning, somehow, i was dreaming about my applications (even though they were submitted on sunday night) and i was somehow going through my Tufts essays....
tips from ze professor
The thing about rolling admissions is that you have a better chance of being accepted if you submit your application sooner rather than later. Earlier in the cycle, they’re worried about having enough students. Later on—after several have been admitted and have accepted their offer—they’re not so worried.
Uh oh
last night I broke a mirror.
Today, I broke my dental crown.
I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.
Phew!
“Dear Jenna,
We will accept your application for the 15th and you will be considered for fellowships.
Best,

“You think taking the GRE, begging for letters, filling out and blowing your paychecks on applications is bad? Try waiting. You will need to go visit your local psychiatrist or of course, the street pharmacist and ask for a bucket of anti-anxiety medication. Ativan works wonders for those nerves.”
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk
um so i submitted all these applications today and didn’t read the fine print in the payment emails that i had to go log back in and submit a digital signature.
of course, i decide to read these emails thoroughly after midnight….
now the applications say they were submitted on the 16th, the day after the deadline.
GWU sent me an email saying no applications submitted after the 15th...

OH GOD, OH SHIT,
I submitted the wrong (almost the same but more intern-y) version of my resume.
OH GOD,
i submitted my sais application 10 minutes before the deadline.
i hope it will be lovingly looked at by the strangers on the admissions committee.
like most parents, i’ve pinned my hopes and dreams on that baby. if it doesn’t come through, like most parents, i will be disappointed and act passive aggressive towards it.

but i fear it may make me sound super asian because i’m pretty sure i took out several articles to make this possible.

Hi Jenna: Thanks for your email. I was out of the office the week between Christmas and New Year, and was catching up. Sorry for the delay in responding. We did make our final decision about the position. The competition was tough and it was a difficult decision. But we decided on another candidate for the position. However, I thought our interview went very well and will definitely keep you in...
