Anyone else not finished with their apps yet and can commiserate?

<p>hehe..I g2g..good luck with ur apps and debate!..buh bye:)</p>

<p>sexydesi, yuo were at CFL Nationals? ME TOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! OOh, what events do you do? Other than debate.. if any....</p>

<p>do u mean..what other ecs?..hey ill im u.. thatll be easier..hehe</p>

<p>I stayed away from CC for an "entire" half day and wrote five essays!!!! I wrote the essays for Chicago (actually kind of fun and not stressful to write), the PLME statement for Brown (bearable), Physics statement for Brown (awful since I don't do anything in physics), and a few essays for Princeton. I wrote two 500-word essays that were supposed to be 250. Then I'm using my common app for the 500word essay. I can also use my short-answer from the Common App as another 250 word essay since that was 340 words (surprisingly). And then I need to write/ recycle another essay for the optional What else would you like to know section. For Harvard's "additional essay," I'll probably use of the princeton essays or write a new essay (on an academic experience) if i'm motivated enough tomorrow morning. .... And then there's the Amherst essay. I hate those essay prompts! </p>

<p>... I'm looking at the Penn application right now. I'm glad I'm not applying there! "You are writing a 350 page autobiography. Please submit page 217." or something like that. I told my dad about this essay, and he said: assuming that you write more as you grow older, each page of your autobiography will cover __ weeks in your life, and on page 217, you would write about something that happened the summer before seventh grade.... my dad is funny, kind of. </p>

<p>Anyway, it's late, I'm tired, and I'm blabbing. I feel better that you guys are going through the same thing and I'm not the only procrastinator. Good luck to all! How many of us will be at the post office on friday at 5:30?</p>

<p>I JUST FINISH MY LAST APPLICATION!!! I'M DONE!!! And I'm obviously very relieved. :)</p>

<p>hells yah, go you. im tired and im thinking of just sending all my stuff and being done, but im hypercritical and have been revising my essays for months. Arg...</p>

<p>hi sexydesi, good luck at Lexington HS. That's where my s goes!! Not into debate though. </p>

<p>He still has a pile of apps to go and now he's got a bad cough! :( It's the kind of cough where you're not too sick to go to a party but you can't get up to do applications. The next few days are going to be fun.</p>

<p>thnx..o man i feel his pain..but im too sick to even go to a party:(..i always get sick when school is closed for some reason..eeek:(..</p>

<p>oh no, you're sick too? This is a horrible time for that. Doesn't make apps any more fun. Come to think of it, he seems to get sick on vacations too...
Hope you feel better...... I'm sure you will as soon as you're done with all of this. Hopefully you'll have a few days to relax before you go back to school. :)</p>

<p>i cant believe jan 1st is so close!</p>

<p>I knowwwwwwwwwww! AHHHHH! I want this all to be over. I just want to know where i'll be studying for the next 4 years.</p>

<p>omg..it is sooo close..eek!..thnx andi..but i dont think i will have time to rest..ugh..GL PPL!</p>

<p>AHHHH, oh no now my parents just figured out I still have like 7 applications to do and they're freaking out which is making me freak out and I want to burn every single college application I have now but that wouldn't do any good, it would just make me miss every deadline. :eek:</p>

<p>how do u make those faces?..hehe</p>

<p>ya baby.. i havnt done much with my apps ever since my deferral.</p>

<p>It should be illegal for scholarship deadlines to be in December and January. I mean why would we spend our time and effort on a good scholarship app if we're trying to get INTO a college in the first place? And make all homework for seniors in December and January illegal too... no, better make it illegal for the whole senior year.</p>

<p>if id gotten into yale this wouldnt even be a problem but nooooo. lol ha
its a good thing i can laugh about it.
otherwise id be moody and then have no friends.</p>

<p>thesandman, I second your idea.</p>

<p>oboe, I feel your pain. Yale wants me to wait a total of about 6 months for what will probably be a rejection. In the mean time, I have so many other applications that are driving me crazy.</p>

<p>here comes in Irony Train into HA HA station.
finishing my second essay to Mac today... OPEN WORD LIMIT.
I finish what I'm writing, edit and think its pretty darn good.
