Waiting for an interview invite has continued to be a lesson in patience. Thereās still a couple months to hear back, but Iām starting to think about the next application cycle. I really hope I will be moving on to medical school next fall.Ā

So Iāve been in the room for prospective PhD student interviews three of the last four years, once as a prospective student and twice as a member of the interview committee. Here are some random pro-tips for anybody about to go through that process:
Test your Skype. Or whatever other program youāre using for the video interview if it isnāt happening in person. Seriously. Thereās nothing worse than losing half your time to technical problems. Also, consider using headphones so the committee isnāt listening to themselves echo through your room from your computer speakers.Ā
Re-read your writing sample/personal statement before the interview. Theyāre going to ask questions about both of those things. What I would really recommend is printing a hard copy and highlighting/taking notes in the margins so you have more to talk about regarding those documents when they inevitably ask.Ā
Be prepared to talk about other work youāve done. They want to hear something they havenāt already heard in addition to more about stuff youāve already submitted. Be ready to talk about what youāre currently working on, what youāre working on next, and where you think your interests might lead you during your doctoral study.Ā
Know why youāre a good fit for this department. Itās not enough to know why you want to go to grad school. You need to know why this particular program at this particular school with this particular faculty is right for you (and why youāre right for them).
Write down talking points and questions you have beforehand. Blanking on your research when asked a question eats up valuable time, and this may be one of the only opportunities you have to ask questions of faculty and current students that arenāt listed on the department website. Itās okay to say, āLet me think about that for a second,ā and gather your thoughts before you decide how best to articulate an answer, but you donāt want to be reaching for the substance of it. Be ready to ask about anything important to your experience as a graduate student, whether itās teaching opportunities or the possibility of interdisciplinary work.Ā
Treat it like an interview, not a casual conversation. Save the chummy stuff for when youāve actually gotten to know these people. Approach the interview like a job interview, because thatās what it is. Cut back on slang and casual constructions like,Ā āSo I was like,ā andĀ āYou know?ā because it makes you sound like a teenager, and you want the committee thinking about your ideas, not whether you know how to be professional.Ā
Do not spend the entire interview playing with your hair, clothes, etc. Itās really distracting when an interviewee never stops moving, and the committee will end up remembering how you couldnāt stop touching your sweater and not what you were actually talking about. This seems minor, but it screams Iāve never done this before and I may not present well at conferences or other professional events. If youāre a nervous person or someone who tends to talk with a lot of gestures, do a mock interview with a friend so you can practice being still. Sit on your hands if you have to.
CLEAN YOUR GODDAMN ROOM. Look, admissions committees understand that a lot of students have limited living space and need to do their interviews in their bedroom or whatever. But for the sake of avoiding embarrassment and bad first impressions, take a test run and make sure your interviewers arenāt going to be distracted by piles of dirty clothes or empty packs of cigarettes or overflowing trash cans. Is that how youāre going to treat your communal office space if they make you an offer? Donāt make them wonder.
This stuff takes time and experience to learn, but the sooner you start paying attention to how you conduct yourself in a professional academic environmentāeven at a distanceāthe better your odds of getting a good offer are going to be. Donāt psych yourself out, practice if you need to, and give yourself the best chance you can.Ā
Been going through a bit of a lull this past month but Iām starting to get out of it! Time to get my shit togetheršš¾

so I thought I would do a properĀ āIāve gotten a new journalā-post even though I have told u (lots of times honestly). but anyways, Iāve finished my XL (19x25cm) dotted hardcover 200-pages moleskine notebook and have started a L (13x21cm) dotted hardcover 400-pages moleskine notebook instead.Ā
The main reason for the smaller notebook is that I often feel overwhelmed when starting a new spread, bc itās just an enormous amount of blank white page. I have tried just using a single page per week but that just gets too comprised so the solution: a smaller notebook. So far, I think it works really well actually. I am pretty scared about the 400 pages tho, thatās a LOT. but weāll see, I guess :=)

āYouāre too old for that.ā
Is really a shitty concept. Youāre too old for everything. Cartoons, sleepovers, candy, etc. Basically, youāre too old for fun. You shouldnāt be too old for fun ever in your life. If you want to watch cartoons, do it! If you want to have sleepovers, do it!Ā
CS Lewis famously said that the intrusive desire to appear grown up all costs was in of itself a childish trait that secure adults shouldāve grown out of it.
He worded it thatĀ āWhen I was young I hid my love of fairy tails for fear of ridicule, now that Iām 50 I read them openlyā
All this is true.
The intrusive desire to appearĀ āmatureā is a major insecurity in and of itself and the sooner we learn hobbies have no age limit that getās you thrown out for hitting it, the better.
13 May 2019 | Itās almost summer. I have absolutely loved my courses this semester, but I will definitely be happy when this week is finished. I just submitted my final paper for my seminar course and now Iām on to studying for my church history exam. After that, all that remains is my Greek final and then I can put all my time into reading the towering pile of *other* books Iāve accumulated over the past few weeks.Ā
