<p>Go home and try to sleep. I should wake up past 5 since I get home from school around 3:15-3:45, depending on when I leave.
Sleeping shouldn't be that hard, because I just came down with sinusitis today and although I've got my Z-pack right here, I doubt I'll be feeling completely better Thursday.</p>
<p>Z-pack=Zithromax?
Yeah I don't feel so hot either, so I guess we'll both be sick while checking decisions.
I'm trying to distract myself from this... but that's impossible.</p>
<p>feel better bestwhit :(</p>
<p>You guys are all lunatics lmao</p>
<p>I'm going to come from school, take a nap and wake up around 8 and refresh the page then spend all night celebrating...or crying</p>
<p>lol completelykate that's EXACTLY what my parents are doing.</p>
<p>Parents: "Stop freaking out, your'e honestly not getting in anyways"
Me: "YES I WILL!"
Me in my head: "I stand no chance =((("</p>
<p>My parents are the same too.
Me: "Just two days!"
Dad: "Honestly do you ever stop thinking about this?"</p>
<p>My mom's a lot nicer about it:
"It won't be the end of the world if you don't get in." And then she usually makes a joke about how I'll be lucky if I don't get in because it's tough to survive at Cornell academically... or so she says (my mom is part of the Cornell class of ... long ago). </p>
<p>And yeah, Z-pack = A*z*ithromycin. Thanks turkkizi! Hope you feel better too, ChandlerBing!</p>
<p>I have to work on my applications to other universities just in case, so I can apply to them right away. -.-
Hopefully i get in........</p>
<p>As a warning, you guys should probably be prepared for the system to go down for a couple hours (unless they've improved it!). Last year I stayed afterschool for science olympiad and ignored my worries by completely drowning myself in working on a balsa bridge for an hour or two (i think I got more work done on that bridge that one day than I did a whole week at any other time!) then I went home and sat and nibbled my nails for a half hour until 5pm at which point I was horribly frustrated by being unable to log in. I spent about a half hour stomping around cursing their system and four way calling three other friends who had done ED, then my boyfriend came over and kept me company and we watched a movie I'd been wanting to see for a while. That only worked after we got through the first boring intro part after which I was enthralled, and it kept me busy and I forgot (somewhat) for a little while, then we went for a walk, played with my dog, then went to chipotle to grab dinner at like 830 during which my friend called to say he'd accessed it (and gotten rejected :X). Totally nervewracking. Then I went to check, found out I'd been deferred, cried my eyes out, then went to bed without doing any homework lol. That was probably the longest day of my life!</p>
<p>Me: "Two days! I'm so nervous!"
Dad (Cornell class of '73): "Don't worry about it. I think you'll get in, and if you don't then it's not the end of the world."</p>
<p>Me: "Two days! I'm so nervous!"
Mom: "I still can't believe you applied. I am really uncomfortable with you being so far away from home. And to be honest, I don't think you're going to get in."</p>
<p>Thanks Mom. </p>
<p>I keep thinking today is Wednesday lol.</p>
<p>awww! Yeah that's probably what will happen to me, too.</p>
<p>They outsourced the decision system to an external server this year. Supposedly it can handle the stress of 972034927340 people accessing information at the same moment. We'll see, I guess. ;)</p>
<p>This year they've outsourced to a company to prevent server crashing. (Cornell's server sucks.)</p>
<p>I'll still be in school. (pacific timezone) digital art workshop, actually. :( only I'll ninja on their computers to refresh the webpage frantically while pretending to work on my slideshow.</p>
<p>depending on acceptance/rejection I'm probably going to scream for joy in the middle of class or busy bashing my head against the wall at how stupid I could be to think I stood a chance, hahaa...</p>
<p>ahahaha. these are all great!
so nervous... =S
well i have a spare last period... so that means i'll finish at 1: 15... BUT then... i have to perform for our school's winter celebration concert which starts at 7: 30 but last minute rehearsals and set up before that... so basically... i won't be able to check until 9 or 10... KILL ME!!! i have even been refreshing my emails to get the one giving us the new site...
k. so... if i get in (slight chance) i'll be blankly staring at the screen for... say... 30 minutes and then i'll finally scream, burn all of my school books, then go out and not come back home for a month since i haven't been able to do so for the past 5 months... but then if i "phaylz" (or fail) and not get accepted.. well.. LET'S ALL START CUTTING!! YAY! no.. by the time i get the razors or the rope out, my eyes will have been all dried out and i'd be blind. i'd go to the park behind my house and scream for some good 5 mins and then start rolling around in the snow.</p>
<p>wow... i wrote a lot of nothing... sorry guys.. just don't read this.. i'm just really nervous... and nothing i said was even slightly funneh... so ... BAI!</p>
<p>I get out of school at 2:00 (I'm on the west coast) I will literally spend my sixth period just sitting in front of the computer, logged on and refreshing the page.</p>
<p>As for me, one of my friend is applying to UPenn, and her decision comes out on Friday, so we have decided that we will switch our account, I'll check her UPenn decision while she checks my Cornell because we both know there's no way we have enough guts to click the button. Of course, we'll be on the phone telling each other to click first.</p>
<p>kiwi<em>named</em>eriku--> ontario too? wana go bawl in front of the parliment on thursday after i get rejected? XD</p>
<p>lmfao darknight! i'm guessing you live in downtown? i'm at the north end of toronto. haha. oh man.. you ready for this? i'm literally dying... my gr 11 stuff weren't great at all... my gr 12 stuff, on the other hand, are good.. cept it's too late. ARG! my counselor didn't let me send an unofficial gr 12 transcript... =(</p>
<p>^ hahaha nah, i'm from Burlington actually, quite south :P but hey, we can always catch the bandwagon and go scream like hell since the whole friggin parliments OFF TO HOLIDAYS FOR A MONTH!! haha </p>
<p>yeah i'm pretty worried too, neither of my gr11 nor gr12 marks are good... now i wish i tried harder..., talk about counselors, the guidance here knows nothing about US schools heh, like my my counselor did not fill out my the secondary school report on my common app correctly AT ALL, and its not like i can do anything about it... but yeah, after rejection gona work on my average lol.. life is depressing darnit..</p>
<p>I get out of school around 2:10 on Thursday. I could actually probably access the website (although it might crash, eep) on my phone during the period, but my mom has made me swear on my dead grandmother's grave that I will get out of class, walk to my car (5 minutes), drive home (15 minutes), wait for her to get home (30-60 minutes), gather the ENTIRE IMMEDIATE FAMILY IN MY HOUSEHOLD (another 15 minutes, we're an unsettling bunch), and then try to access my decision (3+ hours). So if I get rejected, I will be rejected in front of my entire family. Yippy. Not to mention I have to sit in front of my laptop and stare while I wait for my dear mother to return home a;ljkfda;lsdjfals;kdfj</p>
