We should know by the beginning of next week if the grant was approved for funding or not. The review committee met earlier this week and announcements were scheduled to be disbursed following the meeting. How long they take to get to us, I don't know. Whether they'll be electronic or a formal, written announcement, I don't know.
All I know is that this wait is torturous. If the grant is funded, my job is secure for 2 more years. If the grant isn't funded, my time with the University will quickly draw to a close. To say this announcement is paramount is an understatement.
I don't handle the unknown well.
My heart skips a beat every time I get a new email. I want to know but I'm afraid at the same time.
I'm restless.
I can't sleep.
I'm short tempered.
My mind wanders.
To put it mildly, I don't wait well. Big surprise, huh?
