I'm so glad I worked like a Chinese kid at an iPod factory to get that poster made, so 2 people could come and look at it.  This was hopefully my last time assisting any department to recruit students, it's not worth the trouble.  I sat with the other senior students in front waiting for questions about the dept or what it's like to be a grad student.   All I heard were crickets.  At least there was free food.



And good news for me, I'm on the list.  An expensive list, a long list, a waiting queue.  But I am on and I can now wait.
