Oooops, I mean AHMA Well, I got that ass backwards. Duh. Dyslexia here. Apologies to all involved!

I think the one kaloskagathos is talking about is the one I've quoted below, which gets the name for the Group (AMHA) at Berkeley wrong. There's actually a program for Classical Archaeology at Berkeley that's seperate from the Group and, I believe, under the umbrella of the Classics Department (I've known people in both programs). I think the "Texas Girl" result Conscia Fati quotes refers specifically to the non-Group Archaeology option. The 2013 result that appears to be for the Group comes up if you search "ancient" or "Mediterranean." It won't come up under Classics or similar iterations. It's as follows: University Of Berkeley Ancient History And Mediterranean Archaeology, PhD (F13) Accepted via Phone on 26 Jan 2013 A 28 Jan 2013

Thanks for the update, Ciistai! I applied to Texas and am also waiting. I'm being really superstitious about checking the Status Check things on my applications, just afraid I'll see an outright rejection. Makes no sense whatsoever--would a rejection email be any better? At any rate, thanks for the info

Fabulous anecdote-- two cell phones indeed! Now that's the way to roll. . . Regardless of whether I'm reading from an OCT or a Green and Yellow, I inevitably have a moment when I show up to class with Pindar instead of Plato or something ridiculous because I just grabbed the nearest example of whichever one I'm supposed to be grabbing. At least if you're prone to leaving the covers on the OCTs you know if you're randomly grabbing a Greek or Latin text. . .if you're as absent minded as me. . . maybe no one else has this problem. . .

I know what will cheer everybody up! The ultimate Classics-themed Lil' Wayne parody:

Not much to add here, just wanted to commiserate. All this waiting is making me cranky and incapable of being productive. I got an e-mail today from my MA thesis director entitled "Where are you?" The answer: staring at my inbox and checking the GradCafe Results page every five minutes.
