lkahmil Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Sleep anyone? I hope everyone has a great night. Try your best to get a good nights rest and most importantly stay healthy!! I know this will be hard for most, however, tomorrow before you open your letters get something to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. (whenever you receive your letters) If possible, sit calmly and read your letters! Remember, whatever happens we are all here for the support you need!! Again, have a great night, sleep well and Good Luck for tomorrow!! (This is me trying to get some sleep) Is it tomorrow yet? Just Kidding!!

Molly Rowland Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Safiri, I don't think your comments are unwanted. It makes sense not to sweat the "small" stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabooklover Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) They said we'd hear in the evening, I think -- but then, that could just be to cover however long it takes to send out thousands and thousands of emails. Good luck to everyone. At least we'll know, right? Personally, my plans are the same either way, but the support would obviously mean a lot. cabooklover, have you checked with Birmingham whether they can help at all, if by some fluke the FB doesn't come through? I know Scotland has a handful of partial scholarships for foreign students (Santandre or Santander or something like that I think) -- not sure if they are applicable in England too. Yes, I have! They have some scholarships and I am in the midst of applying for them right now. A little help would be tremendous, so I've got all of my fingers and toes crossed that I get something from somewhere. Thank you for mentioning it though! Anyone else reading up on their horoscope to try and predict the results... feeling a little ridiculous right about now Well, I am now, thanks! LMAO ETA: Safiri, I agree with Molly. We're all so on edge, that your post probably just rubbed some people the wrong way. However, you have to admit, the whole cookie thing was kind of funny! At least we haven't lost our sense of humor!

waveaflag Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) @msafiri apologies, but i wasn't telling you that your experience or opinions are not valuable. they most certainly are, for you are where we all want to be sitting....especially considering your country does not have a committee and fewer grants are offered. you are most likely able to provide an inordinate amount of advice. i was merely suggesting, in what i believed to be a rather comical fashion, that your word choice and tone came off somewhat condescending and diminutive. i understood where you were coming from and probably what you meant to say, but the tone was a teensy bit distasteful. you kind of sounded like an old british woman of society confused as to why the maids would complain about their feet hurting. instead of calling you a dick and telling you to fuck off (in turn being a dick myself) i decided to make a silly joke about it.

lkjl2007 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I had a horrible dream last night that I received an email from the commission saying something along the lines of "We made a mistake, we won't be telling you until the 40th of January". Obviously the 40th doesn't exist, but in the dream it was totally logical (and devastating). I just want to know already! Books2readme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler90 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thank you! I'd been pretty calm throughout most of the process, but I'd been getting restless the past week or so. (Though I don't know where my first post went? But yes, I found out yesterday evening that my application for an ETA in Germany has been "recommended" to the next round.) I hope that today brings good news for everyone! eaboo316 and hi_there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcelloMarcelli Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Does anyone have the guts to call and ask what time the emails will officially be sent out so we can stop going nuts? I'm at work & dying to but can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
