Hehe sounds good, I for one have started to worry that Camps will be trying to contact me but because my e-mail address is not easy to remember, they will enter it incorrectly and they will think I have an e-mail offering me a place but i won't get it and they'll think I'm blanking them.

That is a completely irrational thought of course, but still, waiting and impatience does this too you.

Some people have started e-mailing camps and i've been so tempted but i know its pointless because its so early in the cycle, although i may start post-Thanksgiving/Xmas .... speaking of Thanksgiving is that not this Thursday?

Haha, waiting is horrible!! It's worse than waiting for uni offers. So impatient!!! But waiting means i'm addicted to the forum, which is a good thing.

Argh, don't remind me - i checked UCAS every hour in college last year it was sickening, although at least CA has a decent forum, i will spend more time here as i get more impatient haha

Its the fourth Thursday of November, so it must be the week after... i think.
Yea i know what you mean loads of people said they got placed in a few days I expected that to be the norm :( well gutted

I don't know if ucas have done it, but gttr (teaching apps) have got an email opt-in system, so i don't need to keep checking... i was kinda dissappointed, i quite like to keep checking! :P

I don't know if i want to email camps, may just leave it up to fate.

im starting to think that the waiting is a good thing. it keeps me excited lol. maybe when we all get placed we'l be like 'ok cool iv got a placement, now what?'. Its like the anticipation is a great feeling anyway
