How are you coping: Decisions Coming and "Checking THE Mail"

<p>This wait and then the dance around my mailbox everyday coming from school. Can't help it. Some are online and so I dread opening my email now. And then would open it anyway. Then the Facebook and the College Confidential. I could write a song on this: the feelings of hopeful expectation, accepted, rejected, the what-ifs. May be there is one already out there in the romantic lyrics. Same emotions!</p>

<p>my mail doesn't come until 3, and when i get home at 2 somedays cuz of my free bell i watch for the mail lady, hide when she comes, and wait for her to turn the corner so she doesnt see me
then i scamper out the door, grab the mail, and sift furiously through it looking at the return addresses for any school
i just got a blackberry, for only $20 (awesome deal), so all my emails are sent to my phone</p>

<p>I found out my decisions online before getting it in the mail...same anxiety every time my email loads.</p>

<p>I know Duke and Berkeley will post their decisions at 12:00 and 12:30 tomorrow (my time), so my Boss is going to let me use his Blackberry to check my status. I really hope everyone at my job-site has reasons to celebrate tomorrow.=)
I've been checking my mail and e-mail a lot more lately though.</p>

<p>Same.</p>

<p>my mail comes in around 3-3:45, and my best friend and I have been staking out in lounge chairs with apples and peanut butter by our mailboxes for the past week or so. first her mailbox then mine! </p>

<p>she is waiting for Harvard\Cornell\BU\William and mary and i'm waiting for Ithaca and Umass Amherst..talk about anxiety for her!</p>

<p>I have four more decisions coming and the wait for the mail is killer. I have a feeling i'm going to get two letters today (hopefully!), one email tomorrow, and status check on tuesday. AHH, I REALLY hope I at least get the letters today</p>

<p>Ooo. First post. :D</p>

<p>I check constantly. My email has become my home-page now. It's THAT bad. I'm all jitters for Duke tomorrow.</p>

<p>I'm an international, so I usually just check my e-mail every five minutes or so ;p
But I did not expect to find two rejectons from my mailbox today. But it's easier to handle if it's unexpected :)</p>

<p>I check the mailbox as soon as i get home. I am usually anxious by the end of my day, wondering what i will be coming home to.</p>

<p>I check my email relentlessly. I try my best not to think about it...</p>

<p>my mom teases me about the fact that I never, ever have raced her to the mailbox before ^.^</p>

<p>I'm going on that website Penn provides for decisions and rereading my acceptance letter</p>

<p>I have lunch between 12 and 2 and my mail comes at 12:30, so I've been coming home everyday. I don't let my parents go near the mailbox. haha
But yeah the order is: Mail/email, scream, facebook, CC. Getting it online is kind of anticlimactic. lol I prefer the traditional way.</p>

<p>I want to cry. I don’t receive mail at my house so I actually have to go out of my way to check my mail. I have a P.O.Box for personal reasons w/e. And it’s like I hear friends say they’ve gotten this letter from a school I’ve been waiting to hear from. And I can only respond w/ a wimper because now I know to go check for my rejection letter.</p>

<p>I know cant stop checking the mail! Everyday afterschool I run to my mailbook hoping for good news</p>
