for the record, i'm writing this before one particular committee sends out their apology emails and selects those who proceed to campus interviews.
i don't think i'll make it that far. as for why ..
judging from how today's phone interview went, i think i sounded like a space-cadet theorist who couldn't manage to explain anything in layman's terms, much less his own results.
what i didn't expect was that the committee members present in the interview actually wanted to ask about my research. in fact, they had carefully read my research statement and wanted to get a clearer picture of what a measurable differentiable structure is!
*sighs*
the one time an audience wants to know about my work, and i go and fvck it up.
