<p>Since most schools don't send letters out until march 10th I bet more than a few of us hopefuls have daydreamed about going to boarding school and pondered if they are really right for the school of their dreams. I was just wondering how your wait is coming along and what thoughts have passed since you sent your applications.:)</p>
<p>"why can't march 10 be tomorrow?"
"I should have done more EC's"
"I KNOW I won't get accepted into my top choice"
"What if I was the worst applicant?"
and "How the heck will I handle a rejection" are all thoughts in my mind during countdown.
To pass time,
~I add things to my list of things to bring to boarding school.
~I rerererereread my applying school's websites
~cross days off the calendar
~represent the days left in post its, chain links, and cross offs
~lay in bed and daydream about things like getting acceptance letters, my reactions, moving in, orientation, meeting my roommate, going to classes and so much more
~go to school (duh)
~eat ALOT out of anxiety
~Check my P.O. box like EVERY day to find any mailings from my schools
~tell people how excited I am
way too much more, i should take it down a notch</p>
<p>Oh, and I read like every post on CC</p>
<p>"could this day go by any slower?"
"I swear if she says she fat one more time i might just kill her"
"will that teacher ever stop talking?"
"will she ever pass me the ball or will she simply take another one of those wild long shots and air ball it out of bounds"</p>
<p>and of course completely flipping out about The Day Of Doom, that shall be here in 23 short days. (EEP!)</p>
<p>and of course obsessively come onto this website.</p>
<p>"when will dane cooke go on his next tour?"
"i'm going to be a friendless geek at boarding school"
"you dont need that second ice cream"
"why did that cute/dorky politician not make the American Idol top 24?"</p>
<p>countless other frivolous thoughts.</p>
<p>I spend time...
~playing tetris
~going on Yahoo! anwsers
~looking for jonas brothers concert tickets (they're playing in bridgeport 3/17!!)
~eating away my stress
~on face book
~writing my book</p>
<p>hah. compared to others on this site I think i'm at least being PRODUCTIVE instead of just laying around thinking of the POSSIBILITY of boarding school.</p>
<p>haha, agree with the eating away your stress thing, i'm not even going to tell you how much chocolate i've had 2day.</p>
<p>stop eating...because it seems everytime i do, i feel like throwing up out of the anxiety...
MARCH 10 hurry your butt up or ill die first</p>
<p>ahh thats basically what happened..
plus all my friends saying they hope i dont get in
and listenin to Run It over and over again because it gets me all riled up for the decisions</p>
<p>huh, yes, i always feel like i'm going to throw up 2! must stop eating so much sugar!</p>
<p>The thoughts that I think are
- I probley didn't get in.
- Stop being so negative maybe you did get in
- How many more days till March 10th
- YES! one more day down
- and countless day dreams just like emmers43
lol :)</p>
<p>"I bombed my st. Pauls interview"
"What if they laugh at my application?"
"What If I'm too strange"
What if my roomie hates me"
"What If I die before march 10th (I swear I'm gonna be hit by a bus on March 9th)"</p>
<p>tetris is the cure! never played before so thanks for the recommendation crickett!</p>
<p>I'm thinking..</p>
<p>"My play is gonna suck."
"Wait... it's on the 28th?'
"...how many more GS cookies do I have to sell?"
"Can my mom STOP talking about this?"
"Wait... why'd we get a letter from PEA?"</p>
<p>I've been selling cookies, volunteering, working on my NYSSMA, waiting for my play to start, wondering what's in that letter. I've also found Roleplaying and developing characters to be good, too!</p>
<p>...And spending hours playing solitaire while listening to music. And watching VH1.</p>
<p>what was in the letter?</p>
<ul>
<li>What am I going to do if not accepted?</li>
<li>What will I do if I AM Accepted?</li>
<li>Go to the movies, and eat candy all day long, because obviously I worked hard enough to get in and all the stressful waiting is over!</li>
<li>WHY is March 10th approaching so slow???? </li>
<li>Can I just push the fast forward button and get the decision letter already, like in Click?</li>
<li>Darn it! I can't take this anymore!!</li>
</ul>
