English!

I do!! It's baboom, baboom in my chest

Thankfulness to you and to my other supporters is all I am right now!

Delighted to FINALLY be a legitimate poster here! I got into Villanova, yay!!!! I'm waiting to know more about funding (they said within the next two days) before getting extremely excited (I already texted all my friends), but I'm relieved to have received an acceptance, and no less from them

Thanks for your encouraging answer! I, too, am looking forward to writing a dissertation! Is that a good sign? hahaha I mean, I get it if they think they're the first ones to tell me that a PhD is hard, but insisting on it although they don't even want to do one? The whole thing baffles me. Plus, the PhD candidates I know are utterly tired because on top of teaching classes and studying and writing, they're involved in organizations and charity work! No wonder y'all are exhausted!

Naaaaah! They told me March 15 and it already feels like a long time ago! Haha

From everything you've told me, I'd say forget about Villanova and enjoy reveling in accepting an offer

Thanks! It didn't take me too long, I pre-ordered it but from a UK website. Do you take notes in class in it? I don't know if I'll be using too many of the little notebooks or not... maybe I should use regular ones on the side for my notes...

I've no way to avoid them on my phone and they've been an annoyance all along! Rrrr. On another note: why do some people (whom aren't even interested in doing a doctorate) think it's relevant to spend 15 mn telling me how hard and difficult it is to do a PhD, how every PhD candidate looks exhausted and sad, how they wouldn't imagine sacrificing their social life, etc etc. I mean unless you're a PhD student yourself and want me to hear you vent, why would you tell me all this? Like I don't know yet?! Oh and the conclusive "well hang in there, good luck!"?! This girl just now doesn't even want to do a thesis (thèse--PhD level), so why would she give me the whole sermon?! Aaaarrrggg

I think your answer is in the question: it's been about a week. Give it more time!

Yay!!!

I've spent the whole afternoon trying not to buy a whole set. I'd like to wait for the olive one to be out, but the only website I know who will sell it asks for a min. of £150 to order... Which is way too much! And I'm not sure I'll use it that much... haaaaa I don't know what to do! Did you guys handwrite a lot prior to buying the Traveler's Notebook?

Cool! I don't use it that much, which is why I'm not suggested anything relevant!

Hey, could I have a few Twitter links? I'm bad with Twitter, I wouldn't know how to research them myself!

I'm a little disappointed the notebook's not a little bigger, though! I'm used to A5+ paper and notebooks. Do you guys often have to buy new charges?

If you look up specific sub-fields, Berkeley is still #1 for modern British Lit, for instance. Which seems weird to me, but I'm no expert!

I'm fascinated. A whole world is opening up to me.

No prob! It's not been going very well for now, but I'm still waiting on results. Yes, I applied from undergrad (I'm still finishing my BA) and applied to only a few schools out of the top ten, so I got a little carried away there

Yeah, it's my first round, too! Patience, patience-euh we said-euh (yes, I'm trying to French-accent this thing).

@imogenshakes, where are you in your "sweep"? hihi

What's the questioooooooneuh ? I'm not expecting anything at all

Finally rejected by NYU!

Done! Thanks for reminding me to do that

Lame! Thanks for the info. How are you feeling about the waitlisting?

May I ask if the result is on another webpage, or how it displays on your application? Were you notified by email, maybe?
