But do you think they're gonna rescind my offer for being so awkward during the phone call? God I wanna die. Congratulations! Don't worry--I think we're all awkward on our calls, and they know that we're facing big life decisions so I think anything awkward generally gets a pass. Revel in your acceptance! That's an awesome program. bigfluffybearcat and Melville 1 1

My cell service cut out twice on one call and I had to do the awkward call-back while they're calling back bullshit ... and I'm still in. Phone calls are just ... there's no good way. bigfluffybearcat 1

Perhaps I should've asked questions and tried to chat more? Alright now I'm gonna waste precious hours dissecting every word from that phone call and reading too much into it. Don't mind me. a_sort_of_fractious_angel 1

Can't be worse than me literally explaining how awkward I am on the phone to a director.... Super congrats!

Congrats!

Absolutely. I'm always telling myself there is no way I'm the most awkward lit grad student. I may be up there in the top 100 or so, but definitely not the winner.

jvvne Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 oh WOW--congrats to everyone!! Also: I keep getting calls from 610 numbers, somehow convinced myself it might be UPenn ( anxiety ) and finally answered. Just someone hounding me about healthcare. February is a real trip, folks!!!

My problem is my mind is going 100000 miles a minute and I’m asking another question when they’re still answering the first one.

Not to derail this to a Myers Briggs discussion, but I'm an ENTP and this is definitely one of flaws. My mind is on to the next idea and the next question a little too soon. mk-8 1
