Dear

Dear graduate programs:

Please stop making me comment within individual boxes on your webpage, just let me upload a damned reference letter! I comment on all these things you're specifying within the letter, I promise, and I have to rewrite it all to make it fit within your narrow damned boxes.

Dear weather:

Stop being crazy. It's definitely FALL now.

Dear conferences:

Why did I agree to so many of you this term?

Dear undergrads:

I can tell when you haven't done the reading. Really.
