Is anyone else getting maudlin/nostalgic/depressed?

[Milo_10011]

Is anyone else getting maudlin? Overly sentimental? I notice that I'm reflecting a LOT about my original undergraduate days while I wait for those layabouts in the admissions committee to make up their minds. It's funny what comes to mind about those days. The drinking. The dining commons. Dragging myself to class. How everyone else seemed to be getting laid all the time.

Are any of the rest of you having these snapped-back-to-when-you-were-20-and-could-run-up-stairs-without-gasping moments?

I'm finally done waiting, but I can tell you that I went through the same thing. You'll go through sentimentality, depression, angst... actually, come to think of it, this sounds a lot like the Kubler-Ross model:

1. Denial

2. Anger

3. Bargaining

4. Depression

5. Acceptance

What you're feeling is normal. Have some ice cream, sit on the couch and watch some cartoons. This too shall pass.

yes and insomnia too

I am starting to feel these 5 stages the longer CUNY takes to reply to me...I am starting to regret letting my break up hurt my GPA and how I struggled so hard to even keep a 3.0 and if a 3.0 is not going to be good enough to get into my first choice program and how my not studying at all for GRE and still having an acceptable score may not help me or hurt me but had i just been able to pull myself together emotionally after the break up I could have studied harder and maybe the GRE could have made up for the 3.0 GPA and how one relationship could ruin all my doctoral program happiness of being placed in the one program that i really want i will find out my fate this week...the uncertainty while not unbearable is still nevertheless affecting my overall quality of life...

The word maudlin makes me feel depressed because of the nostalgic feelings from the GRE.
