Rock ON with your bad test-taking self!

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't get the scheduling, either, though. That can't be right. You'd only have a chance to teach one class a day that way, yes?
Exactly. It'd certainly give me some free time! But since the teacher information page talks about "no more than four classes a day," I guess I must be misunderstanding something.
AmyLiz, good point. I'm just trying to think what she might ask, so I'm not going, "Duhhh.... I dunno" on the phone. I've pretty much read everything they have on their Website. I think I need to come up with a couple of questions (for the ever-fun "Do you have any questions for me?") and think up what I think about education in general, but it's unlikely to be too in-depth (more "Is this person worth spending interview time on?"). Of course my major question is, why are they looking for someone to teach these classes in the middle of the year?

meara, is the program at UW? We can make Paul show you around! And you can apply and totally go Seattle over Portland.
(Portland generally rocks, though, so I can see the appeal of it, and I would, were I not a selfish meara hog, be pushing you in that direction.)

I'm getting the pig!
meara, if you have time in Denver for a drink or dinner or lunch type thing, e me at my profile. It'd be great to meet you f2f.
Woo-hoo, vw! Go you!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, I got my official GRE results Saturday, too!Congrats! And you've got e, meara.
Mom's unthankful. I gave her plague. Bad daughter, no biscuit!

Yup, Plei--UW public health program. It's very well respected. But...Portland is so cool! Except their program is...less respected. And I've never been to Seattle, maybe it's as cool as Portland? I mean, it does have, like, 1000% more cool people I know (since, um, I know no one in Portland).
Nicole, not sure that I will--am there two days, but have family (aunt/uncle/cousins) in Denver I have to see, since otherwise I never see them (we don't do Chirstmas together anymore since my grandparents died).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

1000% of zero is zero, miss test taking lady.

No worries. I know how that is. Enjoy Denver and pack sweaters. No snow but still quite chilly.

Oh sure, ita, be all...scientific about it!!
Yeah, Nicole, I saw about shutting down the highway...I'm just praying I don't spend the night in O'Hare!

Speaking of grad school: what the heck are they wanting in a "personal statement"? I mean, sure, say "I really want a degree in X, cause it's what I want to do and this is how my past experience is great for that", but...I'm just not sure of the tone/formality/setup.
1. They want to know that you can write in English.
2. They want to see a sensible narrative about how you decided to do this--cuts down on the people who show up with unrealistic expectations. Make sure that your goals match theirs.
3. They want to know you are not a nut. A surprising number of applicants with high GRE's/grades reveal themselves to be inappropriate candidates in the less structured realm of the personal statement. Avoid saying creepy personal things.
So if you edit carefully, tell a reasonable story, and say nothing cringe worthy, the exact content and tone won't matter much.
I think that it's a great program at UW. Some of my training overlapped with the M.P.H training there.
