Ditto here. Will whoever got the Georgetown decline PM me? I went to the website and I don't see anything...

LOL! I hate peeking into my mailbox, seeing a bunch of envelopes and having it all be junk mail. *sigh* Maryland is one of my top picks along with Miami (yay) and NYU. My family is in the DC area so the location would be perfect for me along with the makeup of the program. However, I am still floating over my Miami offer and making plans to visit the campus.

I know! If they have made their decisions they should just cut us loose! I am expecting to have 3-5 rejections letters in my mail box one of these days. I need to make plans dammit!

Good morning! What are the predictions for today? I wish that some of these schools would just send out the rejections so I can cross them off of my list. Any more info on the University of Maryland? I am anxious to hear back from that school...

Congrats to all of the admits today! I wish that I could have participated in the conversation today, but alas I was away from a computer all day... Back to grading...

Congrats doodle! Thanks again everyone for your well wishes and support. It has really meant a lot to me the last few weeks. I just love our history board!

This is why I was shocked to get an email from any schools today. I thought for sure that no schools would send out notifications today. Thanks again everyone! I feel so badly about being such a wreck the last few weeks...

Thanks again! Uhohlemonster, there aren't many Sandy's so it's always fun to meet another.

Thanks Oseirus and Goldie! I am just so happy! I have been running around the department telling everyone the news!

Thanks! And Kelkel you are right, no more mopiness because I am starting a program in the fall!

I GOT INTO THE UNIVERISTY OF MIAMI!!! Five year renewable TAship! I am so happy! I am sending out good vibes for those of you still waiting to hear, and I hope that it is a sign that this is going to be a good week for all of us!

Congrats Sendiri! And Toulouse, I also saw the Pitt acceptance...

This made me laugh! Thanks, I needed that. Keep it coming this week!

I am trying to distract myself with grading... It is the worst part of teaching... At least my classes are much better than last semester!

Congrats Goldie!

Congrats Crater!

Congrats Doodle!

Yes, that is the University of Miami I applied to. Yes, this helps and I completely agree! I would love to know how this person was notified... Thank you so much!! And I am so sorry to read about the declines that went out today.

Is it wrong of me to be annoyed when my husband sends me an email?! And thanks Goldie!

I know! And I am so behind on some of my work...

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your support. I put a note on my door and I'm just holing up during my office hours... I should be grading or doing something work related but I just can't concentrate...

Thanks wikichic, I am naturally a worrier and a planner. This uncertainty is killing me. I know that if this year doesn't work out I'll be fine and I'll reapply. I just need to know what is going on so I can move on and make plans.

Thanks TMP but five of them have already notified for acceptances and one for the prospective student weekend. I feel like I can't hold onto any false illusions, it will make this harder later. And I may not be able to get rehired next year, it depends on so many variables. I am on the verge of a panic attack...

I am just in tears, I am losing it over this process. I have so much to do and I can't focus, I feel like I am already grieving for this cycle. I just need to get results so I can move on and make plans. I am so tired of being depressed...
