I have been waiting 2 weeks to find out whether I have been accepted for my pgce course or not

It didn't help that two people I knew who did it last year said they heard after a week

but I was told "within two weeks"

it's two weeks today

the uni can't tell me, they have to put it up on the gttr website - I have been checking the damn thing every couple of hours for AGES and no cigar

I called the gttr and the uni last Friday to see if there was any sign of a decision, they told me to wait until the two weeks was up

I called the gttr today and they said "it should be up, call the uni"

I called the uni, the bloke took my name and details and numbers etc, went off to speak to his colleague, then came back and said he couldn't confirm anything over the phone, the decisions have been made but I would just have to keep an eye on the gttr website until it is put up

I am going out of my MIND, my whole future is hanging on this thing and I can't sleep or concentrate on anything

I am picking over every detail of the interview trying to second-guess the decision

ARRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!

please distract me, make me laugh or something, please

stiflersmom · 22/02/2011 12:49

Seriously - it's pants that you are being tortured like this - hope you hear really, really soon.

piprabbit · 22/02/2011 12:49

BTW - blur was definitely the effect I was going for...

fedupofnamechanging · 22/02/2011 12:52

It's awful waiting for things like this. hope you get your place x

see, you know why people can't fly?

because if you had to choose, would it be wings or arms? I mean you could fly, but you'd have to eat your dinner with your feet.....

stiflersmom · 22/02/2011 12:54

thanks

I am so frustrated with them, how long would it take for someone to just put the bloody results up on the website? Now I don't know how long it is going to be, and my kids are having a boring half-term because I am being so crap

I am an instant-gratification kind of a girl, I can't be doing with waiting

I find homicidal rage works for me tbh...

compo · 22/02/2011 12:55

I think it must be good news
they'd tell you over the phone if your name wasn't going up on the website surely? Good luck!

stiflersmom · 22/02/2011 12:56

really? I was assuming it was bad news because good news would be easier to give over the phone

but I have my head up my arse, which may be impairing my judgement

Ooh, did you also post after your interview? Or have I mixed you up with someone else? If so, I'm excited as I lost the thread and was thinking about if you'd got in Smile

messybedhead · 22/02/2011 13:00

Good luck.

Prepare mentally for the worst and then you will be ecstatic if its a yes.

PigValentine · 22/02/2011 13:00

That little smile could look quite sarcastic, I now realise, given that you are going out of your mind waiting to hear. It was not intended as such!! I am also impatient, this would be driving me crazy!!

NinkyNonker · 22/02/2011 13:03

Fingers crossed for you. It doesn't mean anything either way that they won't tell you on the phone, they're obviously just being sloooooow.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 22/02/2011 13:07

Good luck, fingers are firmly crossed for you.
It is shit that they can't tell you over the phone, could you phone again and tell them you are under zombie attack and would like to die happily? That should sway their hearts of stone.

stiflersmom · 22/02/2011 13:07

I should use the time to prepare how I am going to pick myself up if the answer is no

that would be sensible

but really I would just like to sit here and chain-eat doughnuts until I get my answer, and not stop if it's a no

sadly I have no doughnuts

Have a Brew in the absence of a doughnut emoticon!

Oh OP, best of luck. Its horrible waiting for uni related things. I got an assignment back through the post this morning, the nerves as I gingerly opened that were ridiculous, I cannot imagine how you are feeling.

I wish you all the best.

stiflersmom · 22/02/2011 15:17

was your assignment ok mumbar? I am terrible at this waiting thing, I feel sick

will just have to wait it out though, I have nobody left to phone

Flisspaps · 22/02/2011 15:21
