Now I know how Blair (in the books, not show) feels about being wait-listed for Yale.
Dear ANU-NEC,
PLEASE EMAIL ME! It's 2 days after the deadline. It may seem crazy to be bugging so soon but I can't stand the suspense anymore. I've been a good girl and waited for a month for you to consolidate everyone's applications. Please tell me mine is stellar? My prof seemed to think so. Like Clare says in
The Time Traveller's Wife: "it's hard to always be the one who's waiting". Okay so that was a quote from a romance novel (pulp fiction, kooky romance novel but romance novel nonetheless) and may not be academic. BUT in a metaphysical kind of way, you are the ONE I've been waiting for this whole semester. The lover to sweep me off my feet to the Down Under.
Say yes, Please!
Best Regards
Elaine
I'm going to go watch some Sara Benincasa and then get down to my US-Israel essay outline/email Prof W for consultation. And pray for some form of relief from all this tension. Sigh.
