<p>Just a few days away. Can’t you wait? The excitement will be more.
Believe in yourself…that’s all I can say. Hopefully you get in.</p>

3

<p>I’m trying! And thank you :)</p>

4

<p>it’s not just a few days!??! we’ve got like 3 weeks!</p>

5

<p>I think you have quite a fair shot by the way.</p>

6

<p>Thanks vergilfan1!</p>

<p>And I’ve been so calm the whole time, but now that the time is getting nearer, I can almost feel my nerves tensing! Is it the same for you? :)</p>

7

<p>it’s ridiculous. in my home country everyone else is off starting university, and I’m left alone waiting for the decisions to come!! you see, not many students in my country apply for overseas study…so i have almost nothing to distract me from this awful awful wait. all i can do is sit at home and read
I feel like I’m going mad!</p>

8

<p>Yeah most of my friends already have their decisions, and have now proceeded to plan for next year. I hate the wait. If you don’t mind me asking, what country are you from? :)</p>

9

<p>New Zealand</p>

10

<p>Now New Zealand is a lovely lovely place. You are lucky to be born there vergilfan! This wait is quite excruciating…Wish both of you all the best.</p>

<p>BTW there exists some excellent institutions there…like Canterbury, james cook…I hope you have applied there…</p>

11

<p>I didn’t apply anywhere outside of the US…I will for grad school, though. :)</p>

12

<p>hahaha you don’t have to apply to university in New Zealand. If you pass your exams, you can just go. and it’s like a tenth of the price, plus we get interest free loans. massively different from the american system.</p>

<p>could you send me a copy of this political theory?</p>
