Anyway, he suggested some current Ph.D. students that I should talk to. I'll probably try to see if I can make the deadline - Jan 1st. Nothing to decide until then. I may torment myself over whether I should do this for next six months and then not even get accepted. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. As you can tell, the whole looking-for-a-job-interviewing routine has really gotten me pretty fed up.
