Jon22: The Website of Jonathan Dobres

Let’s say you’re sitting at home, taking a rare extra day off at the start of the New Year, just relaxing, having a nice time. You know, maybe being a little productive, maybe filling out some grad school applications online, trying to get a few little things done here and there. Nice and easy.

Then you realize that you’ve mixed up one of your application deadlines, and the application you’re currently working on was due yesterday. In the irretrievable past. At left is the face you would make in that situation. It is the face I made.

I’ve done the best I can under the circumstances. Online application has been submitted, e-mails have been sent to who I hope are the right people, and the physical materials are resting comfortably in a large, as yet unmailed envelope. WHY DID GERALD FORD HAVE TO DIE?

If he was alive, the post office, IT WOULDN’T BE CLOSED TODAY.

UPDATE:  All is well.  The University’s web page said that most deadlines are January 15th.  My department’s sub-website said it has a special deadline of January 1st, thus initiating my panic.  However, the sub-program to which I am applying within the department within the University notified me that its own application deadline is still January 15th.  Crisis and attendant stroke avoided.
