Re: Fire Emblem Draft Mafia [Sign Ups]
Man, I feel you. I proposed my dissertation on Nov. 3 and submitted my applications right after X-mas, so the whole application process this time around took me almost two months, and I consider myself lucky to have wrapped all of that up so "quickly". Academia.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 10:04 pmYeah. Securing letters of recommendation was an unbelievable headache at first. It's a good thing I started that process months in advance, or I'd probably be dead from stress right now. Then writing the statements of intent proved to be one of the most challenging (but fulfilling) experiences of my life. I figured I could be done with them in a couple of days each, but no. The process of writing a draft only took about an hour each time, but I wrote about 15 drafts for both applications before I finally felt satisfied with what I had to say. That's been my primary headache this week. There was also a brief technical scare when I couldn't log into my account on the school's website two days ago.MovingPictures07 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 9:56 pmSloonei wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 9:52 pm I still have other programs to apply to, but the two applications I've got done this week are for my top choices, and their deadlines are the most immediate. Plus I've now got the blueprint of all future applications laid out for me to draw from, so there should be significantly less work involved. It feels good and I'm borderline confident in my chances of acceptance. It's a tremendously relief to be done with this stage of the process, at least. Thanks for the encouragement, dudes.
Really the whole process is draining, but you have the right attitude. It took me significantly longer than I thought it should have when I was readying those myself a few years back, as well as assistant professor job applications over the holidays a couple weeks ago. Doesn't help that universities all want pretty much the same general information but in as many different and confusing ways as possible.

Re: Fire Emblem Draft Mafia [Sign Ups]
I also just want to emphasize that I am incredibly happy to see all of these RYMers and HCRealms folks and just the general excitement surrounding this game and others at the moment. You all are awesome.
I would love to play myself, but... yeah, really shouldn't, unfortunately. I hope you all have fun with this though; I'm sure you will because the setup sounds really cool.
