Always Encouraging

I wanted to post a brief message my professor sent me yesterday in response to a request for assistance in applying to the doctoral program here. I had trouble getting to sleep last night after reading over it. It's short :)

"doctoral plans – I’d be happy to encourage you. There are likely to be very few positions available here this year and lots of competition, but why not try. You need to start with a project description. We can discuss this."

This is the most responsive she's been to my requests for application since I started the program. I've sent her 6 emails on the subject. I did really well on the final exam, so I'm guessing that gave me a gold star in her book. Wish me luck!
