Waiting for AHRC news

M

I know this but it makes no difference - still second guessing!!!! Another anxious wait - postie should be here within a couple of hours.

D

well done to you - mr hyde, hjscotland and bobnic

mrhyde - as a panel 3 reject (grade 3), i'd be really interested to know what your avg grade for your MA is/or to date if you are still doing it. Also, what is your study about?

if your still around that is
hang in there stressed and everyone else who is waiting...

D

editing...pah i meant "you're", and I'm an English student - shame on me

G

Nothing for me today. The wait continues......

M

Nor me... So tedious

M

Still waiting. Not even sure if the PPM letters have started being sent out yet.

R

another big 'nothing' to add to the list today.

M

I'm feeling quite despondent today. Not even nervous or stressed

S

Nothing here either, not even a bill to get my heart racing when the post lands! Sigh, I'm losing the will to live

W

got my mum to open my mail over the phone, but brief excitement turned to disappointment when it was just a bank statement. now i'll prolly be vaguely depressed until this time tomorrow.

P

Given things are being sent second class I think Sundays (for obvious reasons) and Tuesdays (because there's likely to be noone in the office on Saturday) are likely to yield a dirth of responses.....

S

you seem to be right pamplemousse - the only thing is that there seems to be a 5 day rule so possibly those generated on Fri should arrive today, but then there seems to be nothing.

It is all getting very depressing in an anxious sort of way - today I just feel so flat and tired of it all. I think it totally wears you out

G

In a really strange place at the moment have gone completely calm for some reasaon. Have convinced myself that bad news is on its way (when I don't know...maybe the AHRC are using a carrier pigeon to send out all our letters!). Couldn't keep up the manic, crazed behaviour forever I suppose, or maybe I'm just going through all the stages of grief at a rapid pace. In this case I've got to the acceptance stage before the death... BRILLIANT!

P

I suspect the letters sit on someones desk for the other three days.
Or are used as paper aeroplanes.
Or to make paper chains.
Definitely nothing logical.

S

We had a theory last year that the letters are sent out to be delivered randomly by monkeys - there seems to be no other reason. Although mine was a bit creased last year, looking at it again (yes, I'm that sad, I kept it!) it does look suspiciously like its been flying around an office somewhere

Yep, same here, its the dull, depressed acceptance of the inevitable - all the energy has gone (might be something to do with having written 20K words in the last week) and I'm feeling like a condemned woman sitting in a cell waiting to be called - nice...
