It could happen to any one of us. Congrats, chapter1!! UCLA is amazing. You'll do great. BTW, I passed the time and distracted myself tonight by 1) drinking many beers, and 2) Re-watching the Korean film Mother. It's so amazing, especially the very last scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPcijFQ4PpU

Just to distract us from waiting: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/sexting-ice-breakers-for-english-grad-students

Congratulations and good luck at PSU! I know it'll be great.

So, has anyone declined or accepted any offers today/planning to in the next two days or so? Just curious. Not just speaking for myself, speaking for others too. Also, let's say, hypothetically, I accepted CUNY's offer on Sunday and then Rutgers offered me a spot after... what does one do in that situation?

Thanks for this, 28verses. We all needed to hear it.

My Grad Center writing sample had to conform to a 15 page limit, so I had to cut 5 pages off of my regular writing sample that I sent to all the other places. It was one of my acceptances, so maybe that's a lesson that, when in doubt, you should compress.

Of course, Austin is within the state of Texas, so there is that issue.

Thanks, mcs! I'm gonna be really really happy either way, so I really just want this to be over at this point.

Whatever. Dokkey is a dickhole and Two Espressos is awesome. So whatever.

I love TGS... ... ...poossssuuummss....

Me waiting to hear from Rutgers:

Rutgers, inform me.

I'm back on alert today for Rutgers, since I was told to expect word "after April 10th." Just checkin' the e-mail and lookin' at the phone. Yup. Just doin' those things and those things only. *whistles* Juuuusst waitin'.

Ugh, sorry to hear my absented spot couldn't come through for you. At least they had the courtesy to let you know either way... Good luck with the other two!

Anyone have suggestions for avoiding thinking about the waitlist for the next 5 days?

Glad it made someone's day. God I wish I could post my final decision... I reeaaaalllyyy hope this whole thing is over by friday... if this goes into the weekend... god help me.

UNC.

Congratulations, fucker!

High five to Stately Plump for making the top then. High five to myself for cutting down on posting in March.

I think that's essentially what The Aged P is saying. You get compensated for any addl. credits taught /w adjunct wages. If it were possible, I'd love to be able to save the addl. workload credits and put them towards a 1/1 or a 1/0 at some point.

Woo! Congrats! I bet you'll love it, but I'm also sad we won't be cohort mates. It was nice meeting you anyway. It's not a bad first choice at all. Congrats! I wish I could post a final decision. Ugh. The thought of having to wait another week. You know what? I'm okay with it. Whatever happens, things'll be great. I need to stop worrying.

Yayayaya Marlowe! Maybe I'll see ya there.

Super jealous! Say hi to Mae Henderson for me and HAVE A BLAST! Woo!

Thou mayest get that tattoo?
