IS: I'm still considering applying to ND, but the more I think about it the more it seems like a waste of time/money. I could perhaps talk to the people responsible for my dismissal to try to get them to really pull for me, but that seems like a rather odd scenario for all involved.

All things considered, I just want to put up with one more year of these twats then go back to Chicago. That's what I want. I don't have good grounds to think I'll get it, but that would give me relief.
