<p>it is sort of absurd but that’s better than no “countdown” thread at all. I will have no place to relieve my obsessions…</p>
<p>How will we know when the decision is up?</p>
<p>thanks! I don’t think I’m super whale-like though, I just like Hamlet!
Yeah, after tomorrow morning I have a fun weekend planned, but Monday will be interesting to say the least. Right now I’m telling myself that they might still release decisions in the next half hour, just because I like to torture myself like that…</p>
<p>I have the urge to call the UChicago admissions office right now, and ask when decisions will be released. And then, I’m hoping that they’ll say, they’re up right now!</p>
<p>your very welcome, ha it reminded me of the band noah and the whale:) me too, I keep refreshing my inbox. argh. good luck everybody!!</p>
<p>there’s no need to call admission office. I am 80%sure they won’t tell. perhaps UChicago A.O.s’ unique quality is to give a shock, a surprise.</p>
<p>OMG I love Noah and the Whale 
blue skies and 5 years time are great songs =D</p>
<p>Do you listen to the Antlers? Their album, hospice, is very sad :(</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of Noah and the Whale, but I’m listening to 5 Years Time and they seem adorable!</p>
<p>Litlhurry, me toooo!!! love 5 years time:) I don’t but I’ll be sure to check them and their album hospice out! Thank you:)</p>
<p>So, do all the signs point to decisions in 17 minutes?</p>
<p>oh dear, i just saw the little (1) in the Gmail tab and I think I just had a heart attack, four days from now i’ll be a destroyed mess</p>
<p>only minutes to 4 pm chicago time. ~~.</p>
<p>…as opposed to some other kind of messes, I guess?</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhhhh nervy nerves. verylikeawhale yes yes noah and the whale are great, and in the same vein, I love the movie the squid and the whale written/directed by noah baumbach which inspired the band’s name</p>
<p>litlhurry–just downloaded some Antlers songs off daytrotter:)</p>
<p>I am so nervous. Good luck to alllllllll</p>
<p>70 hours now? (;</p>

<p>I dont think i can handle it! im having heart palpatations! but then again that could be from the 3 red bulls ive had today ( oh finals week).
none the less i think we are all a little obsessed however with chicago thats inevitable because of the sheer awesome nature of the school!</p>
<p>katydone, i think we have the same exact taste in music and film. Squid and the Whale was great. Do you like wes anderson as well? </p>
<p>Possibly my favorite LaBlogotheque video is grizzly bear doing an acapella version of the knife. judging from the other music you seem to like, im sure you love grizzly bear. </p>
<p>Embeezy too. You and katydone are the only ones who have commented on my screen name :)</p>
<p>A-Punk & katydone, let’s create a trifecta of musical bliss and all get into UChi so we can gush about m00sik for hours and hours! Okay? Okay. LaBlogotheque = heartsiez. And yes, I love the ‘Knife,’ it’s quintessential TAShow. St. Vincent’s is very coy/sweet; I love the text that accompanies that one. </p>
<p>Andrew Bird’s ‘Anonanimal’ is currently juicing it up in mah ears, and it’s love. Listen, listen!</p>
<p>Let’s keep it up this music sharing as a distraction from decision anxiety! Post the song you listen to in your head to feel smiley calm, like “I’m laughing at life and The Man because I’m an untouchable hipsta and thass how I roll, yaddimean?” Here’s mine: [YouTube</a> - Oh No Oh My! - i have no sister](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uNiim2PFYI]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uNiim2PFYI)</p>
<p>ahh good idea! Oh No Oh My! they sound awesome, I hadn’t heard of them before. T’is a good song. Andrew Bird is a king, saw him a while back live. </p>
<p>Now get ready for a semi-neil young inspired-virtuosic-foot thump-er…
