      thanks all!! the solid offer is a study one .. I think I told you guys about it before on the Linguistics forum. I had received an informal acceptance in February but after months and months of waiting for an official response I thought it was over. But received the letter 2 days ago! The lead is a study option as well.

      Enjoy because soon you'll be yearning for the free time for couch-sitting...

  9. is checking my email obsessively ... feels like February all over again!!

  10. had this nagging urge to harass the lab about the status of my paperwork. I finally gave in on Monday and sent an email -- they wrote back saying they never received any of my papers!! Thankfully I sent that email or I wouldve been screwed!

    1. newms

      newms

      Whoa! Hope it works out for you.

    3. Zouzax

      Zouzax

      thanks! i sent everything again and they said they received it. Could you imagine? the deadline for paperwork is June 14 I would've been out of the running if I hadnt checked.

  11. 10 more days until I receive (or don't) my final confirmation from the lab ... Im going to pull all my hair out by then!

    1. MoJingly

      MoJingly
