    Today is my last day of work! Where has the time gone? 1 week until England, 2 months until PhD studies begin!

    First day of my full GAship. I could get used to this!

      Thanks folks! @TOC: it's going well! I have a nice big office of my own, and I'm basically taking over for someone who has been doing this gig full-time for the past decade. It's firmly in my discipline, and also firmly within my skillset, so it's really a godsend.

    I have a couple of offers, so I know that it is unfair and selfish for me to be unhappy - but I am so stressed out over decision-making and funding that I want to just lay down and cry.

      It's neither unfair nor selfish! It's perfectly valid. Good luck with it, and I'm sure that whatever way you decide will be the RIGHT decision. :)

    With more results coming out, things are starting to go a bit grey now... making this last semester of MA seem much more futile/pointless.

      Hang in there, my friend. I can definitely empathize, however. It's hard to focus on schoolwork when your potential career as an academic hangs in the balance.

    First two weeks of the waiting game went alright. Dawn of the third week is on the horizon, and I'm losing the chutzpah and going into mental-breakdown-mode.
