I just got accepted to the master’s in environmental studies program! My whole life is validated and vindicated.

I feel as relaxed as Sputnik.

Can I join the tautology club directly?

I applied for graduate school on 1 February. Acceptances are going out – several friends in my faculty have been accepted. I’m happy for them, but I’m also freaking out; I know that the acceptances go out in waves and depend on variable admission committee schedules, but I haven’t heard anything yet. The last couple weeks have been stressful.

So, when I get an envelope from the university, I tear it open, heart pounding, hoping, hoping…

And when it turns out to be yet another invitation to join the “Golden Key Honour Society”, my opinion of which is admirably summed up by the ever-topical xkcd, I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry.

Does want grad school. Does not want weirdo academic scam.
