<p>...is making me wait.</p>

<p>I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who keeps oscillating between, surely I got accepted and no I don't have a chance in h*ll. I hope I get into MIT because it was one of only 3 schools I applied to, what else are yall doing to pass the time? I'm just sitting here counting down the days wondering whether I should check online or wait until something comes in the mail. On the one hand you can sort of control when you see the decision when you look online but once you see the letter you'll know that instant. I'll probably check online because I can't wait, though I've waited over 3 months whats another few days.</p>

<p>thats so weird, sometimes when I am in class and I feel like a did well on a test, I'll be like of course I got in, how could I not. But then I'll have trouble doing a problem and be like, if I can't get this what chance do I have. So yea corroborator, I see exactly where you are coming from...dont be so nervous, you're making me nervous</p>

<p>Something to do while we wait --</p>

<p>Please post the degree to which you agree with the OP ("who keeps oscillating between, surely I got accepted and no I don't have a chance in h*ll") on a scale from 0 to 1.</p>

<p>Perplexitudinous - 0.8</p>

<p>to kill off time, i speedcube, play counter strike and frisbee, make sushi, and stay up really late on the Book of Face.</p>

5

<p>I speedcube too! My best time is only 2:50 though, I also run a lot and think about doing homework.</p>

6

<p>But Facebook has been boring as of late.
Thank god for track practice or else I'd be spending all my time just waiting.</p>

7

<p>I'm studying for final exams! But yeah, I do the oscillation thing quite a lot -- apparently, my optimism's a sine curve. :D</p>

8

<p>shut up noldo....nerd :)</p>

9

<p>Mine's pretty static really; something like .999... against :) Oh and I'm also studying for finals.</p>

10

<p>Hum.. I agree with most other people. At times, it seems like it's a sure thing that I'll be accepted, but at other times, it seems I'll surely be rejected. Oh well, only 19 days to go. I'm waiting for the postal decision.</p>

<p>My function of belief of whether or not I'll be accepted pretty much looks like this.
x is the date of March (1 to 19)
f(x)=sin (x^2)</p>

11

<p>^ lol! (10 char)</p>

12

<p>maybe it will be an oscillation driven this way or that by the forces of academic triumphs and disappointments but damped by the viscous fluid of anticipation, approaching a particular value found only through the solution of a certain second order linear nonhomogeneous differential equation</p>

<p>That, I think, is a good problem to fill your time with =D</p>

13

<p>I play "N" a lot! It's a flash game (google "N game") that is super-addicting, and angers (didn't know **** was censored) me off to no end because I die a lot but I'm stubborn so I keep going back...</p>

14

<p>Mine is an interference pattern, it looks beautiful for a while and then it seems to collapse... sometimes it just seems like a waning diffraction pattern away from the central bright spot (coz there's just a single slit nowww)... but one thing is sure coz..........oops...... no, there are multiple realities (realities completely removed from my analogy) and the act of observation on the 17th will lead to a quantum collapse and the real truth emergeth...</p>

15

<p>my finals are goin on so there's no way I can curl up with some tome to dissect a completely new idea</p>

16

<p>all i know is that i am hoping to be one of those average people that slips in through the crack.</p>

17

<p>Ditto for me. I'm very, very average by any standard, but I'm hoping that essays will tip the decision in my favour.</p>
