~ma for Bartleby and bonny too.
So, I have a meeting with the department chair tomorrow morning about my appeal, which is the first step in the process. Any advice? The department chair is also my advisor AND the person overseeing the comps procedure. Also the person who emailed me the bad news last week.
My plan is to go in there and stick to my guns no matter how much she tells me I deserved to fail the exam and how weak my scholarship.
Sigh. Should be good times!

I hate writing query letters. It's like standing naked on a streetcorner and waiting for someone to laugh at your cellulite.

stick to my guns
This is good advice. Remember your talking points, and keep repeating the questions you want answered. (e.g., why weren't your procedural questions about the exam answered in a timely fashion? -only phrased better so it doesn't sound like an attack on the procedures she set up.) Remember your appeal is based first on their administration, not your answer.

Oh, definitely glad it's not phone calls. Unless it's one that says "You're fabulous and I'm going to sell everything you've ever written."
And parts of it are fun-- the investigation and trying to figure out if someone's potentially a good fit. Kind of like internet dating, I imagine.

Shit. I have a feeling there are going to be lay offs at work today. Please don't let me be one of them!
