Along with the beginning of students returning to campus comes the return of faculty to their respective departments. This also means that file of my graduate school application which has rested quietly in the Educational Psychology department will soon be woken from its slumber to be scrutinized by those who will choose to either make or break my career trajectory for 2011. Every day that draws down makes me the tiniest bit more anxious for the determination. I feel utterly 50/50 about it-there's no inclination one way or another-I have as much chance of being rejected as accepted. I'll hope for the best but cannot deny that the worst can still happen, and if it does, I will try again when the time comes. >Sighs.....
