<p>My hopes have been crushed so many times over the past few days, I am getting kind of numb, which might be good thing if a thin envelope comes. </p>

<p>Most recent crushed hope, lol:
My parents and I figure out this plan: they call my cell during a passing period, where I can hear it ring from my locker (we are not allowed to have them with us) IF and only IF I get accepted. I wont pick it up, since that would get me in detention, but just by hearing it ring, I'll know.</p>

<p>Well, half an hour ago, it rings. I am obviously overjoyed, but I still don't let myself believe it until I get confirmation. So my nice math teacher lets me call home from her cell phone. My dad picks up: "Oh, hey. No, there has been no mail yet." "So no one called me just now?" "I called you. Twice! Why, was I not supposed to?"</p>

<p>All I have to say is: AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! Just let the torture be over!</p>

<p>For all of you Harry Potter fans out there, remember when Sirius gets killed and Harry finds that mirror? He thinks he can still talk to him that way, but then...can't. Well, it's kind of like that.</p>

<p>Thanks for letting me vent, lol!</p>

<p>I understand...I'm right there with you (and I'm a Harry Potter fan too!) It's surreal seeing the mail truck go up the other side of the street (we get the mail after them), knowing that your decision from Princeton might be in the back of that truck!!</p>

<p>Earlier, I got my mail and no big envelope. I almost gave up hope as I slowly looked through the small envelopes, but as I got to the last one and realized none were from Princeton I let out a huge sigh of relief.</p>
