What is this?

I have finished all of my Ph.D. applications.

2 of them were on time, but 3 of them were early. Highly unusual for me.

But here's what is really blowing my mind:

3 of the 5 are to freaking Ivy League schools.

I have officially applied to Columbia, Yale, and Princeton.

If you told me five years ago, or even one year ago, that this is what I'd be doing now, I would have told you that you were insane.

Now comes the oh-so-torturous part: waiting.

Some of them may not release decisions until April.

I don't know if you've figured this out over the 6+ years of this blog, but I am not good at waiting patiently.

Like, AT ALL.

Lord, help me.
