5/1 Ok I know where chialea and alexf are going for grad school. What
about the other guy (forgot his name)?
\_ Where are YOU going? -stalker's stalker
\_ Twohey? ...What the information worth to you? -geordan
\_ where's chialea going?
\_ To a judge for a restraining order!
\_ I'm going to CMU. -chialea
\_ Nebraska. -geordan
\_ Don't cloud the issue with facts. -geordan
\_ Would all stalkers please go create your own geocities website and
leave the motd alone? Thanks! I don't recall this end-of-the-year
grad school motd stalking thing ever happening before. What's wrong
with this year's crop?
\_ it's the combination of the economy, dot-com bust,
and the explosion of grad school apps and rejects that
is causing this.
\_ I think they're referring to the stalking, not the actual
grad school discussion. -geordan
\_ that's what the above poster answered. they are
justifying more screwballs going to grad school
than normal. if the economy were not in the dumps,
they'd all be hanging out at some strip club in
the south bay squandering their dotcom paycheck, but
instead their applying to grad school and stalking.
\_ I didn't see any stalkers in the dotcom world. -dc-guy
\_ if you have money for whores and strippers, you
don't stalk grad students. that was my point.
\_ I never thought of it that way.
That's deeply, deeply sad. Moreso than it is
already. -geordan
\_ no sadder than any other major in college.
watch Fight Club if you want to understand
what's really going on inside the average
american male college grad.
\_ on a related question. If you're on the waiting list, or if they
asked you if you're interested in their MS program, then does that
mean if the actual PhD candidates somehow disappears you'll move
up in the list? |
