It Wasn't Even Enough To Leave

I had a very unproductive day at work, the net result being a list of graduate schools I want to apply to and the memory of my boss imitating Don Knotts making obscene phone calls.

My problem with graduate school is that the programs I want to attend are either A) in places I can't really afford to live, or B) so exclusive that I'm not sure I can get into them. Or both.

Boston College
University of Pennsylvania
University of Chicago
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

And of course, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.

I don't think I can get into graduate school.
