[Sanssouci]

probably the real pressure starts from today

I got a letter from my university's career service, and my hart skipped a beat. This is going to be a long couple of weeks

[sebastiaan]

Yes it will. Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong week

[chocker]

good luck everyone. I am planning to sleep from 8 am until 5pm. That's what I did today.

good luck everyone. I am planning to sleep from 8 am until 5pm. That's what I did today.

I HIGHLY recommend this. I do this everyday since I'm 12 hrs ahead. I wake up everyday after the end of the business day for all my schools and check my email in hopes of some sort of update. So far it's been generic ones but I'll take it over nothing. Then once that's done I go about my daily life (i.e. browsing gradcafe).

You know it's going to be a long week when...

you can find a deep sense of masochistic frustration/fulfillment watching the calendar date change every morning

seriously, it feels just like the last period before lunch break when you're trying to distract yourself by counting the wrinkles on Miss Homeroom's forehead while you're watching the minutes creep by on the clock that you're convinced is broken.

except now it's not minutes but days. and stress has turned YOUR forehead into Miss Homeroom's.

This would be a wonderful time to be on Tokyo time...

I did this last year when I applied and was living abroad (9 hours ahead). It was great!

I'm 7 hours ahead of east coast schools at this point, which means I've been getting up as late as possible, etc. etc.

However, universities in my country open next week, and I have to lecture and TA, which means hour after agonising hour... Oh, and also the waiting. PGL.

[BlueSwedeShoes]

6 hours ahead here. Worst case would be someone calling me a 9-10ish in the evening (3-4 pm yonder in the states) when I'm tired from a days work and getting ready for bed...

[Tam]

It's exciting times, all right. I'm not expecting to hear from most of my programs yet, but I unexpectedly got an acceptance to one a couple of days ago, by email. No funding info until March, though, and I'm all about the funding.

[DJLamar]

Oh also, my classes started on January 11th. I'm on Eastern time and my schedule this semester has a 10 AM class M W F and a 9:30 class T R, so I'm up as soon as or before anyone starts making decisions.

[modernity]

All I know is, schools should not start mundane emails with "We are pleased to inform you that your application..." Made my heart skip a little, just for it to be a run of the mill update!
