  1. Hey, insertbrackets! I'll send you a pm. I'm feeling good about my decision!
  2. Congrats, Timshel! So funny--I just accepted my offer to UGA! @JeremiahParadise - thanks for letting me know. That is great information--exactly the kind I was hoping to hear!
  3. Yeah - I know what you mean. And I'm not sure how negotiable they are...
  4. Thanks, Timshel--that makes me feel much better. I'm 19th c. British, too.
  5. I think the standard package is a 1-1 teaching load, $10,700 stipend. I guess that Gainesville has a pretty low cost of living...
  6. I was accepted off the wait list yesterday. I was also "near the top" of the list. I may decline, though. I hope to decide very soon.
  7. I declined an offer from LSU yesterday--I hope the offer goes to a gc'er. I was prepared to accept an offer to UGA, but now I'm panicking. I rarely hear anything about UGA, which is making me anxious. Does anyone have anything to share about UGA? I've spent a lot of time on the website and talked with faculty and students, but now I have the fear that I'm missing something? I was also accepted at the University of Florida off of the wait list yesterday, so that has complicated things, too. UF has a 1-1 teaching load; UGA is 1-2. However, UGA is offering a much better stipend, and they are a better fit for my interests. UGA, UF, or try again next year? Any thoughts?
  8. I got a call from the DGS at around 6:30 EST. Sorry - I don't have any information on numbers accepted or how many she called today. My subfield is 19th c. Brit. Good luck!
  9. Just checking and hoping it was OH (for Lolopixie).
  10. Was your friend definitely wait listed at U of Miami (Miami, FL)? I know several Miami U (Oxford, OH) results were posted recently. I believe Lolopixie is referring to FL Miami.
  11. Yes. I know someone who was wait listed for funding at UNCG and ended up getting it (last year). Good luck!
  12. Of course! And I'm invisible...like the mistral.
  13. I'm not sure what lolopixie looks like either, but I'm pretty sure she has great penmanship:)
  14. I don't know what that was about, but thanks for voting the post up to make it neutral! And congrats - UNC looks like a great program!
  15. Or is it that if I sit here and wait for it to happen, it never will? Crap!
  16. I eat whatever is fast and easy. I can't stay in the kitchen long because I might miss acceptances on Grad Cafe... and if I'm not there when acceptances are handed out, then I might not get one. That is probably how it works. Great sign, comebackzinc! I'm glad I hadn't already reached my +1 quota, so that I could give you a 1++++++ (in the voice of Ralphie's teacher).
  17. Hitchcock's The Birds and Rebecca are better than Daphne du Maurier's stories!
  18. I +1ed for ya trip, Trip. I'm sending out positive vibes (also hoping they come back to me). Congrats on the ECF!
  19. I understand - my mind works in the same way. I was looking at your great options and wondering if you had a preference, yet. Then I noticed the alphabetical order and guessed that you were keeping your options neutral at this point. hahaha!
  20. Congrats - that's awesome, bdon! Bdon, are you keeping your schools in alphabetical order within categories? If so, that's awesome, too!
  21. No, it's me. The only litote I could comprehend right now would be "you're not rejected."
  22. One of my professors was a stripper to put herself through school at Berkeley...in the 70s. It seems to have worked out well for her!
  23. Then I misread your post, Marlowe. A litote there? I think my brain is too spastic to handle it.
