#JustOneMore hour of networking with your future co-grad students, fellow job hunters, and conference goers! - very worthwhile use of time! )

thank you! I just popped in to try to help the masses survive the application deadlines! ;op

I'm hanging in there! Finish rads next Monday and working away. How are YOU?

I'm hanging in there - just finished my first round of chemo last Friday. Currently working on my Chaucer chapter. )

Ransom - the English director of graduate studies emailed me to tell me and then they sent a letter from the department and another from the graduate school. (I'm sorry, I just noticed your question!!)

Thank you fifty thousand times over! I'm so delighted. I never dreamed this was going to happen, I was just glad to get in at all this year! YAY for persistence!! )

good luck!!!!!

congratulations!!!

I love you guys!! ) Thanks for all the support!!!

awwwww! Lovefest 2011 has begun!!! ) I love y'all, too!! )

This is so much better than last year! lolol

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I'm absolutely delighted for you! ) Now - go blog about it!!! :oD

hehehe...my former advisor just emailed me cheerfully remarking that "acceptances always take longer than rejections - no news is good news!" Didn't have the heart to point out no one has heard from any of my schools yet... lol

Congratulations!!!!! Yay, you!!! )

Good luck to you!! Fingers crossed!

And YES, for those lurking to pounce on anything right now out of the sheer anxiety and stress levels, I know it's "masochistic" and not "macchiato". It's a joke! ;op

Is that macchiato, or sado-macchiato? lolol I'm thinking the former, given how much time I have spent obsessing over this forum and the results page!

You'll never know what your unconditional support of my frivolous overposting over the past month means to me! ;op

If she were covering someone else's song, MAYBE it would be justifiable, but the national anthem? No excuse. I certainly feel badly for her, but I'm not going to make excuses for what happened out there, either.

I'm not reveling in her mistakes, I'm wallowing in my own self-proclaimed anxiety. But, as long as we are on the topic - she's sung the National Anthem countless times and she is a professional with fifteen years' experience, being paid ridiculously high sums of money to NOT blow it when the cameras are rolling and the mic is on. Nerves be darned - there was no excuse for what happened out there. It's the freaking national anthem. If she were covering someone else's so...

I don't know what fepartment you applied to, but I definitely noticed this with them last year also.

I just don't like mochas, and I feel like I have been here forever! lolol

MoJingly - I'm just wishing away the bad month. ;op

I'd disagree it's rude to ask your stats, since it's natural to wonder - but DEFINITELY, I agree it's rude to persist once told "I'm not comfortable sharing that".

Thank you!
