January 30, 200422 yr Okay, well, tomorrow I take my final and leave for home. Then I am flying out to New York until Tuesday. Cross your fingers for me--I got an interview with a grad school. They bought me a plane ticket--but I have 2 full days of interviewing. So--keep your fingers crossed for me. Hopefully it'll work out--it's a position I want with a nice assistantship and teaching/research combo...So, think warm fuzzy thoughts for me this weekend and next week!!!! Insert nervous scared face here.
January 30, 200422 yr Good luck with getting it. chances are if they bought you a plane ticket there is a good chance you will it.

January 30, 200422 yr I'm going for my PhD in Cognitive Psychology with a specialization in Psycholinguistics... Yeah..I got one of those too... Good luck, Soxy! I'm sure these board will provide you with adequate material for your doctorate thesis
January 30, 200422 yr I'm going for my PhD in Cognitive Psychology with a specialization in Psycholinguistics... Check out the brain on this one! Knock 'em dead, Soxy!

February 1, 200422 yr Hav a great trip there Soxy and we're all rootin for ya. Hope everythin works out for da best.
February 5, 200422 yr Author Just an update: I had a lovely time visiting upstate New York and the university there...My interviews were long, but not too stressful. (Calling them interviews were even a little bit of a stretch, but I did have them with 7 seperate faculty members--one was out sick.) The lady whose lab I was applying for was GREAT, and the people (faculty and other grad students were amazing too). So I was really hoping to get in (plus they fully fund their students--so that would be nice). And when I got home I already had the offer for the program. So...it looks like I'll be going to New York State for my PhD next year! And, let me say I am very,very, very excited and happy about it--because this was the lab I most wanted to work in. Hurray! Thank you everyone for the kind words! And don't worry Brando I was too tired to misbehave.

It sounds weird that you'll be working on a Ph.D and you're MY age....and I don't even have a HS diploma!
