And so the UPenn acceptances begin.

I saw that! Ughhhh I need detail. Waiting on Michigan (though thinking rejection or waitlist now), UPenn, Columbia and Boston.

It's a shame that people don't post more information at times. Scores? Subfield? Publications? Teaching experience? MA degree? Favorite color? (Fine, the last one may not be relevant.)

Staring at my phone now. Trying not to cry. Or implode.

It was enough to get someone thrown into the Gorge of Eternal Peril, so I think you're right to ask.

Pink! ...no blue! Aaaaahhh...

Upon seeing that Penn acceptance, the Gorge of Eternal Peril is looking pretty enticing right about now...

Rest assured if that phone call comes in I will post my results with as much info as possible, including potentially annoying habits I might have as a roommate, favorite color, favorite way to spend a Sunday, etc. :P

I'm SO glad that crossed your mind as well!

It's curious the call came less than ten minutes after Warelin's first post and our flurry of responses. Let's wait it out till the end of the day!

I found that curious indeed. I've also seen it happen with other schools that people were previously discussing.

A bunch of years ago I wrote a villanelle that begins with the lines:

How often I have sat alone
And waited for the phone to ring,
But only heard the dial tone.

It's feeling awfully prophetic right about now...

Most suspicious. It's also been the pattern that these schools (Princeton, Yale, and Rutgers all in the past week) call shortly after the close of the business day. That makes sense - most people work.

I love it! We've all been in toxic, unevenly requited relationships with these apps for so long, we need release!

I see we've skipped the entertaining hallucinations phase and gone directly into the paranoid conspiracy phase of the season, which I feel is a mistake, as I really wanted to see Bing-Bong again. 

Noooo not Bing-Bong :'(

Oh sure, let's while away the afternoon posting gifs of the saddest movie scenes we know.


*busily looks for Count Almasy carrying Katherine's body out of the cave...*

Time to break out the ol' Sufjan Stevens entire discography
