That’s fine, I was just hoping for a “your email didn’t get eaten by the network, we’ll get back to you later” type of confirmation message. (I’ve had some bad luck in the past with emails not getting through.) It would also be nice to have some idea when the decisions are going to be made, so I won’t be left in suspense.

Probably something like that; my life is going to be very different, for a couple of months at least, depending on which answer I get. Also, not knowing when to expect the answer causes me to spend time and mental energy wondering “Is today the day?” each time I check my email, followed by disappointment when it isn’t. If I knew when to expect an answer, I wouldn’t have to think about it until the time came.

Everyone should be patient; Anna is really busy and got a lot of e-mails.

Refrain from worrying until 1 week from today.
FYI: A week from the day of your post has passed.
Okay, I will.

The same things I’ve been doing for the past few years now: staying at home and killing time by playing video games and reading stuff on the Internet.
