PsycD

Thanks for sharing the info!

What coping mechanism, strange addiction, or odd behavior have you adopted to help get you through this excruciating time of waiting? I myself have developed a strange addiction to Smoked Cheddar Cheez-Its, Ghirardelli Sea Salt Soiree dark chocolates, and anything starring Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Hunnam. Ok, so that last one was already there, but it has become even worse...

It's too early for freaking out. Pick a vice and indulge. This is one of the few times in life when doing so is totally justified. Nothing illegal, of course...

Heart Breaker

Tea is my LIFE! I have to have at least 2 cups a day.

Thanks, Surefire! It seems that UT is the school most likely to reject me, but I will def take you up on that offer if, by some miracle, I get accepted.

I've never had coffee before. I have some sort of weird aversion to the smell. Those who drink it regularly tell me to never, EVER drink it to avoid developing the wicked addiction.

Another East Coaster here. You are def not alone.

And what exactly is the problem here??? Unless he's wearing a t-shirt that says "Congratulations! We are please to offer you admission, PsycD...," he can be dressed in bubble wrap, a blue tutu, and named Dragonfly Jones for all I care.

Gellert is right. We still have a couple of weeks to go yet. Most invites go out mid to late Jan...that is the time for panicking.

If accepted, I'll be moving to my new city in May and spending the summer getting settled in, exploring my new state/Country, and traveling. If I don't get accepted, I'm moving ASAP to start over...wherever the wind takes me. I'll settle for a Masters in whatever, teach at a CC, keep two lovers, and volunteer my time helping the elderly and children with special needs.

Spirit Week

There are some great schools in Canada. You may have missed the deadlines for most of them, though. Psyc deadlines are usually pretty early in the U.S. and Canada. FYI-I am American and my top choice is a Canadian school. Had I finalized my decision about my graduate education sooner, I would have applied to mostly Canadian schools.

Congrats! I applied there for Social.

Night Cap

I'll be doing handwritten thank you notes on cards from the school I'll be attending (assuming I get in to one), a gift card for one, and dinner and drinks for the other two.

I only applied to four, and I'm seriously freaking out now. I have no Plan B and I don't know what I'll do if I don't get accepted anywhere. My job and location are such that I can't even fathom having to stay in either much longer. Sorry for the mini meltdown this has been the worst day I've had in a while.

My BF broke up with me...and I thanked him for doing it (true story). I was finally free to be able to go and do whatever I wanted in life without having to always consider someone else...someone who was not even worth the sacrifice. Get your cry out. Go out into the woods and scream. Recruit some friends and toilet paper his house if you want to. Mourn, then move on so you can start enjoying the wonderful journey that is the rest of your life.

Bell Curve

No matter what is going on, this song always mellows me out. Brings back fond memories of Jamaica, rum, and......other things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOoHTcuORcY

Power Tool

That sounds like a great idea to me! I'd like to regain something as I totally lose my mind waiting for admissions decisions.

If that's bad luck, then I'm screwed. I think the entire world knows my #1 pick.
