While You Were Waiting

<p>What’s everyone going to try to distract themselves with as the same refreshed email screens become a hallucination Tuesday at 5? And what’ll you do depending on your admissions decision?</p>

<p>I’ll be sipping on chamomile tea and reading something (news, maybe?). It’ll be worse than Election Night 2000 (I’m way at the end of the alphabet…). If I get in, I probably won’t sleep. I might cry (but tears are not tasty compared to chamomile tea, so I might not). If I don’t get in, well…life goes on, regardless of what my username asserts. I suppose I will have another kind of tea instead.</p>

<p>Good luck in your emails. Don’t have a stroke, please.</p>

<p>I’ll be writing a major English paper all afternoon tomorrow, all evening, and all of Wednesday morning, so it’s something to keep me focused and going regardless of the decision. ]</p>

<p>Ah, “A Man for all Seasons” and Machiavellianism…a great combination!</p>

<p>i’ll be taking a final, and then going to a holiday reception. if they do stagger it by letter, i might be home before they e-mail my deciisno though :)</p>

<p>Oh I love tea! I’m kind of a caffeine girl myself though–mint and chamomile makes me sleepy. I usually drink about five or six cups of English Breakfast a day.</p>

<p>Lol, k–I know you guys really wanted to hear about my penchant for tea.</p>

<p>I’ll be tea-ing it up too tomorrow, though.</p>

<p>Woooo!</p>

<p>Sunglasses, I’ll be thinking of you as I have some fine tea tomorrow!</p>

<p>What’s everyone else doing as they wait for the big email from the nearly-omnipotent Admissions Committee?</p>

<p>ill be doing a bio lab and writing a paper on the theme of decay in Hamlet. :-(<br>
plenty to keep me occupied.</p>

<p>I’ll be studying for finals(my grades are really bad), and finalizing my other apps…</p>

<p>Wait, no, I’ll be at school at 5 est… And I’m a “D”. So… I might be ditching AP Chemistry to go to the library, where I will sit and refresh my e-mail inbox compulsively. While sipping on a Mountain Dew, thank you very much. LOL.</p>

<p>ill prolly ditch my sixth period too, although im not expecting too much.</p>

<p>I don’t think I will check until right before I go to sleep (probably 4 am!). I have a huge test on Wed, and I dont want to be sad and distracted from studying. Do you guys think this makes sense, or should just check right away and get it over with?</p>

<p>Whatever works for you.</p>

<p>I’m going to my friend’s house right after school. She’ll, hopefully, distract me for two hours by staying on my butt about reading Madame Bovary, and engaging me in the usual daily bickering. Then, I’ll check on her computer. Just in case I get rejected, I’ll need someone to be there, to peel me off the ground with a sfork.</p>

<p>ahimsa–like you’re not distracted already?!? just the possibility of finding out about college acceptance tomorrow kills my focus.</p>

<p>I will be losing 5 pounds in wrestling and getting tossed around until about 5 30</p>

<p>counter-strike v1.6. best game ever. =) ironic, isn’t it?</p>

<p>sunglasses, i totally feel ya. argh… sooo freakin nervous!</p>

<p>some CC folks wanna gather on the forum here and just have a lil chit chat as we pass the time by? =)</p>

<p>You are absolutely right sunglasses. I can’t stop thinking about the decision. I am so annoyed by everyone in my school constantly telling me that I deserve to get in and asking when I finid out. I feel as though a deferral/rejection would dissapoint some of my friends more than me! Anyways, I plan on not sleeping at all tonight so I can flip out tomorrow night and not do work.</p>

<p>give me death!</p>
