Exorcism
Last night I had another dream in which I had to tell everyone I didn't get into any PhD program. I figure if I do a mock-confession here and now--I got rejected everywhere! Boy, I'm a dummy!--I'll be less likely to have to do it for real. Ah, magical thinking. Sometimes it has a clear basis in psychology.

One of the poets in the program with me at Hopkins applied only to top 10 english phds, and without any real understanding of what they did in each one, and was, not surprisingly, rejected everywhere.
You will, of course, get in everywhere, or nearly everywhere. Where will you go if you can go anywhere? Or will you stay?
I think you'll get in everywhere too!
