This would be disastrous :frown:

No, I didn't apply for any other uni. Well, I am trying to keep myself busy working or reading but in vain. Somehow, it feels like waiting for a decision controls my life in the meantime.

What about you? I hope you applied for other unis since you are an undergrad student.

Yes I have made some other plans and applied for some unis. But I want to do something else other than study. I'm hoping to do something more exciting/fulfilling outside the academic :biggrin:

What have you been working and reading?

This wait is actually a slightly pleasant distraction. It makes me pause thought on other more saddening matters haha

University is so full of extracurricular activities. You're gonna love it. Just do not let it take up all of ur time.

As monotonous as it may sound, I was reading scientific journals and data-based articles. I guess I am a big, fat nerd lol.

Oh I hope everything works out well for you! Why don't u try going for a walk? Just to relieve the stress. Actually, I am done with worrying. I am going through indifference now.

Ohhh. I'm not exactly undergrad :biggrin:

But no I never really participated in any of the extracurricular in my day. Did you? Just went home :{

I read any article today. It said a lot of geniuses walk 2 hours a day. They walked for the inspiration! So maybe a little walk will inspire you again. How come you only applied to SOAS though? I hope out you hear a reply so we can both know what's happening :smile:

You said you don't live in the UK right?

What type of journals do you read? I read some. But I'm more into economics and business journals than actual scientific ones.

Thank you!

It could be so. I believe nothing will go wrong if you gave them a ring or even emailed them.

Good luck!

Hmmm they are taking so long. Are you applying to anything related to Korean, Chinese or Japanese? If positive, then you have an explanation; those are like the top courses in SOAS.

I feel for you. Hope this shall be over soon...
