New rankings of graduate departments

based on crabbiness of the professors....well someone suggested this somewhat jokingly....but actually this piece brings up quite a few good points. I mean if I had known what I know now, I may have chosen differently in many respects. I don't mean to imply my advisor is crabby, she isn't, she is actually one of the least crabby and loveliest people in my department or even the university. But she is way too overstretched, and there just aren't the faculty to really handle the number of students we have in the right way. So would I have done something differently academically --yup, I probably would have gone to cornell if I knew then what I know now....but instead I ended up with a fabulous boyfriend and a pretty ridiculous cat.....so life isn't that bad

Dornbusch Award in Social Psychology

Yup, I am the winner. It is just a departmental award, but it is nice to be recognized. I will miss the ceremony b/c I'll be on the beach...which is where I would rather be.....but Kyra will pick it up for me...since we are twins, no one will know the difference :)


Ok...back to my dissertation revisions.

Once these revisions get off to the copy editor I'll have more time to post.
