I had a feeling I'd be getting a certain letter in the mail today...

Looks like today is the day of rejection letters. *hug*. And yes, you absolutely still have time to kick some serious academic ass. : )

::hugs back:: I'm sorry you didn't get the job.

I really need to find someone I can talk to about programs that are good fits for my interests *and* that I could potentially get into. Unfortunately, although both my thesis advisor and one of my committee members are social psychologists, they haven't been at all helpful with recommendations. I mean, they give them, but the people they recommend tend to be either super-famous or no longer actively doing research.

I'm glad you're feeling okay. But even if you were kind of expecting it, I'm sure there was that little glimmer of hope, too.

Good luck for the next round of applications. (You deserve an award just for completing them at all!)

[antigone921]

Yeah, there was. That's the problem with being both a realist and an optimist.

And thanks. =)

I consider myself an optimistic realist, too. It means you're still let down, but it's not as bad.

Sorry, hon. The best is yet to come, and other fine cliches.

[antigone921]

Yeah. ::sigh::

I'm sorry. :(

*offers hugs* That sucks. I'm sorry.
