The Final Countdown ...

(da da da da, dum dum dum dum dum, da da da ... ) okay, so maybe the title of this post did not remind you of that 80s song, but it did me.

But seriously, folks.

I received an email on Friday night (which I opened on Sunday) that said the Ph.D. committee at University of Illinois -- Chicago is meeting today and information should be available by Wednesday on if I am accepted or not.

pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

Knowing they are meeting today doesn't make me *too* anxious.  Nope, not me.  Makes me want to send them chocolate, flowers, not chocolate, goodies, bribes, pleas, etc but doesn't make me nervous.

I'm in. 
Or I'm not.

Pretty simple, really.  I don't know if I am but I will soon enough.

If I'm in ...

four years from now I could be approaching that ever-elusive doctorate. 

If I'm not ...

I retake the GRE again and apply for next year.
