<p>Yes, I stole this from my friend who posted this on the Yale forum.</p>
<p>So what are all of you going to do on December 11th when you come home from school until 5:00 PM EST?</p>
<p>I come home at like 3:00, and I have no plan. I’ll probably try to sleep, but I’ll likely be too nervous, so then I’ll probably just end up surfing cc…</p>
<p>I'll go to school, probably have some random after school thing, come home and just do whatever. Actually, I'll most likely end up going on the computer and staying until I get the decision. </p>
<p>Surprisingly, I'm not even that nervous. Maybe because I know I have like a 5-10% chance of getting accepted? Hah.</p>
<p>I'll be in school until then. My teacher 4th period said she'd let me check online in her class...Not sure if i want to because most likely it'll say "rejected," and that would just suck to see in front of everyone.</p>
<p>It's a regular school day for me, the second to last day before finals. I have a stupid AP Calc memory quiz (which I always do quite poorly on, for lack of any solid memorization skills) which I guestimate will end at about 1:50, 1:55.</p>
<p>That will give me a few sickening minutes to stare at the clock. I think I'll check in an empty classroom with my friend when the class is over at 2:15, and then go home early.</p>
<p>Swang-- it's my last exam day! I have a BC Calc exam in the morning and then I'm done with exams and it will either be the best or worst exam week ever.</p>
<p>Swang and hollyert and dreamlittle, you guys have finals/exams already? What do you have at the end of the year?</p>
<p>Argh. I have a Chef's Club Dinner on the 11th which was originally supposed to be on the 4th. So on the big day I'll go to Student Council after school, then cook Greek food until 5:30-6:00 when I will have to serve said Greek food. Then around 8 or 9 I will return home and.. click the button.</p>
<p>I can't decide if I want to look while we're all cooking (there's a computer I think I'd be able to get on) because then everyone will want to know and.. yeah. I think I'd rather go the second route and wait to find out my fate in the privacy of my own room, but I don't know if I can wait that long knowing that the decision's there! This whole thing is making me feel so squirmy.</p>
<p>the 11th is also my last day of exams, mine ends at 2:30 and then i pack up and drive home for break. i'm hoping the decision will be a good start to vacation...</p>
<p>OK so I go to an early college program at a university two hours away from my house (long story, PM me if you want to know more), and my last final is on Thursday from 11 to 1 (then Christmas break for 3 weeks!!). My dad isn't coming to pick me up until about 3 or 3:30 (I don't have a car on campus, so I can't drive home). Since it takes two hours to get home, the decision will already be up by the time I get back. During the whole car ride home I'll be shaking and worrying... not looking forward to it.</p>
<p>You guys are lucky. My last exam isn't until the nineteenth. I have a voice lesson right after school on Thursday. So I'll get home at 4:30. Then freak out for about thirty minutes until I can check. Then I'll probably have to wait like ten agonizing minutes because the server will be all backed up from everyone checking. I don't know, maybe I'll throw up somewhere in there. I'm not telling anyone but my two closest friends the exact day that I find out, because I don't want a bunch of people asking me the next day if I don't get in.</p>
<p>Hollyert I told everyone that I was applying too. I guess I felt better as I shared my agony with other people. Right now, I can only visualize the admissions committee looking at my application (dim lighting, all in black suits with ties, gathered around a roundtable), saying "I just can't see anything special about her. REJECT!!!" </p>
<p>Seriously there are other ED applicants thinking "Oh I just HAVE to get in. I can't afford to get rejected." right now just like me. That thought is depressing and humbling... I have to be at school until 5:30 so I'm gonna find someone with an iPhone to find out about my decision.</p>
<p>I don't know if this makes anyone feel better (it probably won't but what the heck), but I can almost assure you that they have already made the decisions for all of us. There is nothing we can do-- it's out of our hands. Now that I know there is absolutely nothing I can do to make my app better, I'm not worrying so much because I know I tried my best, and that's all anyone can do at this point. (Yes, I know like an hour ago I said I was so nervous, but I'm trying to think of what I just said and it made me less nervous.)</p>
