One of the "foundations" courses - the political philosophy/theory course.

I hope you enjoy your course at Oxford - I was involved with creating the reading list for one of the courses so I hope it's interesting!

Let me know if they tell you anythingl!!

No I haven't. I checked my pidge at 12:15 and then again just now (1:45) and there was nothing. I'm not sure if the mail had arrived yet or not though. Going to check again at 4pm. I keep coming up with excuses to go to college!! The porters must think I'm crazy...

Oxforddphil did you get anything today?
-
A friend of mine was told she won the Commonwealth about a week and a half or two weeks ago. She's from South Africa so unless people are nominated by the central UK office, timing could vary.

Fellow Oxonians - if it arrived in France today, maybe tomorrow will be the day for us!! I really feel like all this anticipation is just setting me up for even worse disappointment if it's bad news...
-
Same here...nothing

Ya I find that you mail something in the uK and it arrives the next day.

Every day since Wednesday I've had an intuition that "today is the day." And yet every day it hasn't been the day. I'd really like to have hope for tomorrow but I can't seem to muster it. Canada Post says it takes 4-7 business days to post something internationally. Somewhere like the UK should be on the bottom of that average since it's not, you know, Timbuktu. So if it takes 4 days to get to the UK and then 1 day once in the UK (since Royal Mail is super quick) it should be 5 business days total which, even if you don't include the day it was mailed, means it should have arrived today or tomorrow at the latest. Yes...I've been thinking about this too much.

This is getting REALLY annoying.

Mail has come and gone in Oxford with nothing for me .
