<p>okay i stole this idea from the cornell board. haha but i kinda need to lighten up...after discovering two mistakes (essay and work experience) on my apps. so consequently, i changed my IM to "TWO mistakes on my penn app? gotta be f***ing kidding me!"</p>

<p>anyway, back to topic. right now, i'm praying to ben franklin, writing a gazillion letters to him using my mind. the letters say "please accept me!" <<< i'm dead serious.</p>

<p>here's what i really have to do:
-write those essays for: cornell, dartmouth, NYU, BC, Rutgers NB (this is harder than penn's i thought), georgetown, tufts, JHU
-try to do okay in calc, bio, and french...i thought it'd be easier this year. apparently not.
-resist senioritis
-exercise! didn't jog ever since school started.
-stop thinking about march, b/c that's when i'll take 1-2 weeks off from school to go to shanghai!
-stop thinking about december 15th.
-stop pretending that i got rejected/accepted......what about deferred? that's neutral.</p>

<p>omg I do the same thing. i have a countdown on my desktop and i stare at it whenever i get bored, lol no life</p>

<p>i'm going for a jog today, i havent done that in forever too</p>

<p>and stop applying to like all the same schools as me! looll jp goodluck to you</p>

3

<p>basically just do a lot more supplements... slacking is fine now for me because even when i dont do any work i still do just as well. lucky me! maybe work out a bit more lol</p>

<p>yea after submitting my app i took a week or so off and now im back to doing more apps but trying to balance it with chilling on the weekends or something. Basically I try not to stress so much and hopefully that Dec. 15 letter is an ACCEPTED!</p>

5

<p>Mostly chilling. Even if I don't get in, I know I'm a lock for the other two schools I'm considering. Also doing a fair amount of academic tutoring at the school for other students.</p>

<p>It's really fun to be in this position where nothing really matters unless I want it. I'll let you guys know how I'm feeling come Dec 15, though ;)</p>

<p>I just watched the movie "How to lose friends and alienate people" online, haha.
Now it's time to study for a physics midterm -_-</p>

<p>Besides that, I also just finished my UC applications.
Whoo!
Why do I feel like I still can't relax
-___-</p>

7

<p>u have a.....countdown?? i don't know whether to laugh or refer you to a psychologist...</p>

8

<p>make brownies :) haha i just did. ughhhhhhhh i still need to rush my act scoressss and catch up on heka hw. and do other college apps. and yeah woo PENN :)</p>

9

<p>haha. yes, fuzzy logic, i do. but then again i have a desktop post-its for everything</p>

10

<p>hahaha I have post-its all over my mac's desktop too.
My school is on trimesters, so I'm getting ready for trimester exams a.k.a. cramming for calc etc. every second of my life. except I'm not...which is a slight problem. I should probably finish my other apps, but every time I do them it reminds me I'll only have to use them if I don't get what I wanted.</p>

<p>If I don't get in, I'm going on bed rest for at least a week. I swear to god.</p>

11

<p>yea i would sleep it off too....hehe</p>

<p>btw, does getting an interview mean something good? like they like you or something? or is it completely neutral?</p>

12

<p>It's supposed to be "neutral" I think. Although I guess it does indicate that Penn doesn't dislike you as an applicant ;)</p>

13

<p>im watching some movies with my bro :)</p>
