  "textContent": "submitted by TraschcanOfIdeology to chat\n26 points | 4 comments\n\n\nDamn I thought it was a done deal, I even had chats with the folks at the research institute who would’ve offered the funding, and they were very optimistic. I was pretty much already expecting the next 4 years of my life to be done doing that.\n\nFeeling kind of neutral about it tho. Maybe emotions will come later.\n\nAnd this is the university where I am friends with a tenured professor, who was also pushing my application forward. If I apply to other places i’m certainly not gonna have that for any other applications. I don’t even know what other programs to apply to.",
