Summer Madness - The Start of the Admissions Process

After deep contemplation, I have decided to move forward with my goal of Fall 2012 admission to a PhD program.  The madness has officially started.  Who knew how many links there were to fill out an application?  Do I really need to send copies of the application to the Graduate School and the Business School?  Who is this dude named FAFSA?  Would it be inappropriate to write my own letter of recommendation?

Just a few funnies to start the madness.  I will keep you posted on the journey.
