The important COUNTDOWN

<p>26 hours…</p>

<p>wow 24 hrs is coming. can’t believe it’s finally here, although it did take long enough. :)</p>

<p>I feel like it was just yesterday that I was saying “35 days, 34 days…” It’s unbelievable how these last few days have flown by. I’m so nervous that it’s impossible to describe in words. I don’t know how I’ll make myself check the decision tomorrow. I’ve never been more terrified in my life…</p>

<p>eeeeek 25 hours left…wowieeeeee. i don’t even know what to say. this is way too intense for meeeeee haha
hopefully everything works out for the best…goodluck everyone!!!</p>

<p>25 hours sounds like a really long time though…I can’t imagine waiting another 25 hours…that’s like…1500 minutes…that’s a lot of minutes.</p>

<p>Officially 24 hrs left (or around 24 hrs, I can’t be exact)</p>

<p>23 hours 50 minutes… the home stretch</p>

<p>I feel like a member of the orchestra who was on the Titanic and decided to stick around and wait for the ship to sink…I hope someone knows what I’m talking about.</p>

<p>I just feel queasy and ominous.</p>

<p>that would be my feeling exactly.</p>

<p>one of my friends told me that she was so nervous for me last night that SHE couldn’t sleep. that just makes me feel SO much better. she said she doesn’t know what she’ll do if i don’t get in. i’m glad this is a no pressure situation for all of us, and, apparently, our friends.</p>

<p>Today in the middle of honors calc my friend started calling my name and I turned around and she goes, “oh my god you find out tomorrow.” and I was like, O.o (that’s a face of surprise)</p>

<p>once at symphony i didn’t get off the stage, and i got plowed into (the face) by a bass, and the bass player</p>

<p>everyone I saw today just said things like “1 day!” , “Wow, you find out tomorrow!” “Oh my god, guess what tomorrow is?” “Hey, when do you hear from Penn?” </p>

<p>AHHHH! I just gave them this look that said if I talk about it or think about it, I’ll go absolutely insane. They seemed to understand. </p>

<p>I can see myself celebrating sooooo clearly, exactly what I’ll feel and do. But deep down, it just feels like it would be too good to be true:(</p>

<p>That rhymes…I should write a sad poem</p>

<p>egad, we find out in LESS THAN A DAY</p>

<p>23 hours…</p>

<p>22 hours…</p>

<p>Although I am getting more nervous by the minute…
On the bright side, at least by applying to Penn early, I finally learned how to correctly spell Pennsylvania. :)</p>

<p>Good luck to all!!</p>

<p>I love it when the “lurkers” come out of the woodwork as we get to decision day! It’s that common bond that draws us together, I think:)</p>

<p>Yes, I’ve been quite the lurker. Visiting the site for the last two months, looking at everybody’s comments and opinions, but not saying much. Still, I feel the need to express our solidarity, or the “common bond” as Helix puts it. </p>

<p>Kumbaya, my lord, Kumbaya!
We’re all applying my lord, Kumbaya!
Early decision to Penn my lord, Kumbaya!
Oh, lord, Kumbaya!</p>

<p><em>hums along</em></p>

<p>what exactly does kumbaya mean?</p>
