Waiting for AHRC news

P

And nothing for me.
Again.

G

Nothing... again.

R

Again, nothing. Two 2nd class envelopes postmarked the 12th... but neither for me.

M

Still waiting... I was convinced it would be there last night when I got home but no such luck. I feel calmer today.

The adrenalin is really getting to me. I'll spend the morning resigned and then the afternoon hopeful. By the time I get the train home my heart is pounding. Then, when I see absolutely nothing, I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me. This can't be good for me. So I am telling myself to be calm today.

I do feel for you all still waiting... having said that, feeling like I feel right now I'm not sure what I'd prefer!!

Thanks everyone for your support, it is so appreciated, nobody I don't think can understand what we're going through right now unless they've been there - if one more well meaning member of my family says 'its for the best' or 'never mind, you can't change it' I'm sure I'm going to swing for them!:-s

I spent all of yesterday swaying wildly between being ok, then I'd think of it for a second and break down again. The uni are trying to sort something out for me, but yet again I'm waiting to see what can be done :-( They are brilliant and I'm just so incredibly lucky to have such incredible support from my dept, I just feel really frightened right now that the dream may be over - tescos is calling :$

Still I have to concentrate now on getting the MA finished - i can't even look at it right now - its just too upsettig.

no post for me again. this is so disheartening.

I'd quite like a job at the AHRC.... since they only seem to do any work one day a week!!
So tempted to ring them but must be strong!

W

ring them up Pamplemousse, i'd love to hear what they say! I emailed them but received a predictable response, I think you'd have a better chance with phoning though! they wouldnt tell you your result, but they might tell you whether its been posted or not!

Just abit of news for those waiting on Panel 1 PhD funding. I'm not waiting myself on results but of the three people I know who are 1 heard today - successful and the 2 others heard in the last couple of days - unsucessful.

P

Thank-you Crumb that's great to hear.
I'm getting rather desperate!!
I wonder, if you know what University they're at.
A little birdie suggested results might be sent out on this basis.

M

I am glad to know someone has heard today! It's been very quiet on the news-front.

G

I don't think letters are being sent out on the basis of Uni. I've heard of a few people receiving rejections in my own panel (4) and others in July and one in August so I don't think there is any pattern. Getting bored of the waiting game now there is no excuse for inflicting this torture on us... The AHRC are EVIL!!!!1

C

Pamplemouse, they were not all at the same university - ucl and cambridge - so I dont think theres any logic to how the letters have ben sent out.

P

Hmmm indeed as I'm a UCL person and haven't heard a jot!!
Tomorrow, lets hope.
