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.
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!
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!
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.
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
