PhD applications submitted …waiting

Two PhD applications are submitted.

Waiting for letters of recommendation is like watching paint dry.

And don’t get me started on colleges who DO NOT join the transcript clearing house.

Because some don’t.

You have to go to their website.

Somehow remember your account number and password.

Log in.

And chose to have transcripts sent places.

Two universities, two sets of authorized transcripts.

Thank goodness the prices have come down.

I had three separate sent.

2 to universities.

1 to me.

In case they asked for unofficial transcripts.

Which 1 did.

And now I wait.

For people to recommend me for enrollment.

That’s not an easy ask for a shy person.

Um, hi, you don’t know me but I see you have a PhD.

And are a nurse.

Recommend me maybe.
