Argh I seriously need to stop thinking about this but the internet is evil and provides me with all sorts of tools, which have allowed me to discern the following facts:

1. There are exactly 14 Fulbright grants to the UK available this year, which means that I am actually one of 21-28 students forwarded into the final round, which is a MUCH SMALLER NUMBER than I had previously assumed.

2. Fulbright UK has notified all students of their decisions on March 15 for the past few years.

3. All of the PhD programs I have applied to will notify on or before March 15, which means that when I go to New York and Cambridge this spring break, I'll already know which programs I've been accepted to.

4. UC Berkeley's English department has already started sending out PhD acceptances and I haven't received one yet.

Is there a way that I could just forget everything about grad school and Fulbright applications, only to remember it suddenly on March 15, by which point I will have received all of my notifications?

THIS MAY BE MORE STRESSFUL THAN UNDERGRAD.

I think I need some tea. Stat.

everything is going to work out; you will end up where you are supposed to be and life will be wonderful. take a deep breath, make yourself some tea, and take at least an hour to read or write something that makes you happy.

i've been meaning to tell you this for a few days, so here i go: i really admire you. you are a smart, creative, motivated, and altogether beautiful human being. ♥

*hugs* You know, you're a smart, creative, motivated, and beautiful human being too. I'll do something awesome for an hour if you will! :) (Actually, I'm about to go work on my thesis for an hour and pretend that I enjoy it -- but who knows, if I pretend hard enough I'll probably start liking it! And I will definitely like being done with it.)
