Still nothing for me. How many of us are still waiting?

I won't be getting in until 9pm tonight and thus, will not know today's outcome. It's gonna be a looooong day.

I've convinced myself I don't have it now - I can imagine not having the funding more than actually having it for some reason.

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

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.

Have we got any PPM lurkers? I haven't heard any news at all regarding those who applied for it.

I've only just managed to log in here - was getting the error message until 10 minutes ago.

Oh Stressed, I am so so sorry. I think we can all tell how much it means to you. I really hope you manage to find another source of funding. Thinking of you x

Not sure how I feel about the whole process today - good and bad news. :-( Congratulations Megara_9191 (up) Am really pleased for you!

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

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

Good morning everyone, another day of worry ahead!

I had my first letter related dream last night. I dreamt that the Thin Letter arrived with AHRC stamped in big black bold letters on the back. I raced upstairs to open it and all I found inside was my application, returned, and a letter stating it had been "difficult to choose this year". That was all - neither a rejection nor an acceptance! Then I found myself in a room full of people with exactly the same letter. We were told that this was the letter that usually meant you had gained an award - but this year it would be different. We would need to work as a team and do some kind of task and THEN we would receive the award or be rejected!

Scary stuff! Obviously my subconscious is working overtime and I'm fixated on the fact that so much of this process is based on how well other people do.

No more dreams please!

I'd like to hear lots of good news today!

Damn the lack of editing on this board! What I meant to say is that I'm NOT doing this particular Masters so I can go and work in the West End.
