I feel bad

there is nothing worse than the wait.

It sucks. Welcome to hell. Several months of it.

Dude, It's not that bad. I feel relieved that they finally let me sit for it and I have a lot of free time again. I block it out with alcohol, thoughts of death relatives and porn. Not necessarily in that order.

It's like death and taxes. We are all going to get a letter...

Wow ... we haven't seen this side of you. I hope that wasn't my doing .. I have been told I can convert the most cheerful, engaged employee to a lump of coal in a matter of a week based on my cynicism. :mellow:

Seriously! I enjoyed Polysloman's enthusiasm even if it was a bit far out there at times...

I feel bad for all you guys (and ladies) because there is nothing worse than the wait. It sucks. Welcome to hell. Several months of it.

As of now, it hasn't been too bad. I have got to do a lot of things that I put on hold while studying and it has kept me busy (reading, hiking, going out of town for the weekend, etc). Plus with Thanksgiving around the corner, I have to start preparing our home for my in-laws and come up with a Thanksgiving menu (yikes!).

Beyond the first couple of days after the exam and when people ask how I did, I don't give much thought to it. Of course, I know that will change around the third week of December.

The worst part of the wait for me was between the first states reporting results and when Illinois finally got around to it. On the bright side, it would suck worse to be waiting in California.

I'm trying to decide if I want the results before or after Christmas. We've got 18 people coming in from all over the country starting on December 22. The last ones leave on December 29. I'm thinking that during that week, I'll be so busy, I won't really care if I haven't gotten the results yet. But, if I find out before, I run the risk of being really sad for Christmas.

i'm with you TX...if i'm going to wait that long, why not wait another week...so I Christmas isn't somehow ruined.

Or on the flip side you could be really happy for Christmas!!!

That's true, but very risky. I think I can be happy at Christmas without the results.

In Texas, the board posts the results on-line the same day they receive them. The mailed results are received about 1 to 2 weeks later. Last year, the results were posted on Dec. 27. I debated whether to check on-line or wait for the letter. I figured not knowing was better untill after New Year's. But... With everyone else posting their results and feeling that I did better than the last time, I checked. Well, I did do better, got a 69. FAILED!

Lucky for me HBO happened to be showing The Hills Have Eyes 2. opcorn: I watched it and felt much better... my life wasn't that bad compared to those poor saps stranded in the desert. :suicide1:

My plan this year is to check on-line again, but to have The Hills Have Eyes 3 handy, just in case it's bad news.

 

[PEsoon2B]

Well, I don't have a really good feeling about it.

I agree

 

[Transpo_Girl]

oh dear god I forgot that we might get the results back before christmas, thats going to be tough!

Do you guys realize that the results are probably less than a month away? :17:

Just a friendly reminder. :17: :17: :15:

I'm predicting a slight delay between TX's receipt of results and posting due to the PE 100,000 nonsense. Or maybe not....

Seems like it might require a wee bit of additional coordination on their parts.

Do you know anyone who submitted an essay? I didn't. I was going to ask for 99,999 but then one of my buddies said he actually did ask them for 99,999 and they already had a handful of others request it.

Personally I can't see any advantage to the little bit of extra attention the 100,000 would no doubt bring you.

I hope you get coal for Christmas!!!

I can't believe it's only been 24 days since we took that damn test. Do you know how much I've already forgotten??

 

[frazil]

24 days 21 hours 6 minutes and 15, 16, 17... seconds to be exact

 

[Dark Knight]

How hard would it be to set the "watch clock" the following way?:

You have waited X weeks and Y days.....Z more weeks to go.

All based on a minimun 8 weeks waiting period.

[SIZE=12pt]Great!! Last year some states receive their results on December, others on January. This time, the last ones should be the first ones. Let see which one will be the first. (Sorry California :smileyballs: )[/SIZE]

I'm not sweat’ in it. CA will get its chance. I'm ready to wait as long as it takes. I got thirty six months of food and ammo stored in the basement. I'm ready for Armageddon baby! 10940623:
