<p>We have less than 48 hours before we find out for ED. Is anyone else starting to hyperventilate??? How are you dealing? I'm consuming exuberant amounts of calories. Not the best coping mechanism. However, after watching Pride and Prejudice today in AP Lit I must say that I am a bit calmer. Maybe beautiful scenery, Keira Knightly, and classical piano is the key?</p>
<p>I dreaded that book…</p>
<p>Umm…I just randomly shout “X more days” lol.</p>
<p>i would say going to sleep early is the trick. seriously. i normally go to sleep around 12-1, often later. if i were to go to bed at 10 tonight and tomorrow night, it would save me 4-6 hours of worrying at the very least.</p>
<p>^ Best of luck to all. Hopefully I dont take rejection to hard come RD round.</p>
<p>AxelNofz, that is an EXCELLENT IDEA! LOL I’m going to do that for sure 
I’m coping by busying myself with winter drumline haha :]</p>
<p>I’m just jumping up and down and eating tremendous amounts of food while struggling with physics because Newton didn’t go to Columbia (if he had, the whole thing would be more relevant and I’d pay attention to my homework instead of watching the clock).Yesterday was awful because we had a snow day…and I sat around all day waiting for fiveoclockonthursday.</p>
<p>24 freaking more hours I’m so freaking scared holy crap</p>
<p>Wrong! 23 hours and 40 minutes!!!</p>
<p>21 hours…exactly!</p>
<p>20 hours and 48 minutes.</p>
<p>axel how does sleeping early work? if ur used to sleeping 12-1, there is no way you can just pop in bed at like 9 or 10 and expect to dose off right away. instead of college confidential, you’ll prob end up worrying urself anyway tossing on the bed and being awake until your normal sleeping time</p>
<p>lol, it was wishful thinking collegeftw. i got to bed at about 1 last night, and i was basically surfing CC stressing out the entire evening. i do think, though, that anything that decreases the amount of time spent conscious between now and 5 PM tomorrow is worth considering.</p>
<p>Last night I woke up at 4am and lay awake for an hour staring at the ceiling and thinking about Columbia. -____-</p>
<p>Even if it’s a rejection I’ll almost be happy that this is OVER. I’m actually getting kind of excited about starting my uPenn, UChicago, and Barnard apps (yes I am one of THOSE girls who applies ED to Columbia then applies to Barnard, judge all you want).</p>
<p>^^^Agreed. I think the wait is more painful than a rejection. Sort of like the nerve wreck is torture, while getting rejection is just getting shot and being over with it.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>my friend’s suggestion today that i thought you’d all appreciate: “you should just go into hibernation until 5 PM tomorrow. if you get accepted, we’ll wake you up. if not…we’ll just never wake you up.”</p>
<p>haha I have a state competition for a program tmr in morning (skip school haha), quickly find time to go to book store and buy a book, work, then drive like crazy to a banquet, which will end at like 11 or 12. </p>
<p>where am i gonna squeeze in time to check decisions 
? lol. rhetorical question. ill try my best. lol</p>
<p>i’ve seriously just gotten so out of it these past couple days… not doing any work watsoever. ugh this waiting is killing me.</p>
<p>yeah I’ve been completely unable to do any homework or even pay attention in class. ahhh tomorrow will be hell. I wish i could not go to school, sleep in till noon, watch a movie, and then freak out on CC for two hours. :)</p>
<p>sadly i won’t get home till 5:30, i’ll have to check the decision, and then go back to the school again till 11 at night -_-</p>
<p>whoa smile whats up with this do you go to school in china or something (where my cousins do indeed go to school every day until 9 or 10 lol) or is it a special circumstance like a school play?</p>
