Stressed - I completely agree, I think everyone here is desperate to study a subject not just because it's enjoyable but because they feel it's important. I understand about the subject expectations - I am leaving work to do my Masters and all of them have asked me the same question: "So, you're leaving to be an actress?". God no! I'm not under any illusion that I will become an actress! I want to use drama in the community, for social change, education and for therapeutic purposes. I'm doing an Applied Masters so I can go and work in the West End!

I love hearing about your subjects! If anything, it reiterates how sad it is that we can't all get awards. Everyone is so passionate about what they do.

It sounds to me (and I don't know much about these things) that it should come under music, definitely. I guess it depends which side you focus more attention on but in your case that seems to be live music. I'm doing a Masters in Applied Drama (Community Theatre). I was unsure what my panel was at first too as the course is very inter-disciplinary but the notes helped clear that up. Definitely panel 7 for me.

Which subject will you be studying soarous?

Has anyone heard of any panel 7 letters yet? Or, indeed, any PPM letters?

Hehe, you could give them a grade: "I award you level 4 gratitude - moderate appreciation"

And so it begins... let's hope we hear about lots of FLoJ (TLoJ) today!

I have no-one at home to text me today, so I'll be waiting until around 6 to see if I have any post.

You have a great attitude Dervish - I shall remember it when my if/when my TLoD arrives. I hope your dissertation goes well.

Please Mr. Postman

Special Delivery is a must mskoncept!

I'll join you there HJScotland, I think I'd have had the text of doom (ToD) by now ;) Stressed - that's so cool about your husband! I often fantasise about what I will say/do if I do get the funding. I can imagine myself NOT receiving it much more easily!

I must have checked my phone for 'the text' 30 times this morning!

Good luck!

Whilst not knowing is stressful - it also brings out the optimist in me. I can open the letter and still be hopeful right until the bitter, heart-wrenching, soul-destroying end ;)You can totally tell I'm a drama student!

And a huge CONGRATS to you mskoncept!! I have just realised that your TLoJ was for a RPM so the Masters ones must be on the loose now too. Still not heard of any PPMs yet but they may be on their way!

Oh God, I have butterflies.
