a friend of mine just got accepted at big school U for a phd in a field completely unrelated to mine. yay! i did the happy dance of joy and the prerequisite squeal of happiness, but then....


i am not sure if i am anxious or worried or relieved or excited or really, just plain nauseous. i still haven't heard anything. i did not apply to big school U. too far away for me and the medieval program isn't as strong as the schools i applied to. but....(and yes, this may actually be whining) does this mean they are handing down decisions? ack. for her field she had to interview. chances are i won't have to. so does this mean i should find out soon? i am hoping for the next 2-3 weeks. but i check the mail as if it might explode. i check my email with my hands covering my eyes, peeking out in classic horror movie watching position.


in order to stop obsessively checking worthless websites looking for application updates i am taking my mom to a sappy chick flick at the movies tonight. my good deed for the week. good karma can't hurt, right?
