<p>It's taken over my life. Last night, I had THREE dreams about Yale (in one, I was accepted. In the other two, I was rejected). I kept waking up in the middle of one just to go back to sleep and have it happen again. </p>
<p>Now I'm tired and cranky in addition to being nervous.</p>

I know this is dumb, but if I'm not careful, I find myself thinking about what it would be like to be accepted to Yale, and how I will tell everyone, etc. Then I tell myself to stop so I won't have to suffer too much on the 16th. It's hard to see other people get their decisions, but I don't want to know mine. Basically, I'm anxious and confused about what I want. I think I'm going crazy!

<p>I didn't apply to yale (but am also anxiously awaiting my early results for another school) and ... wow, I've felt the EXACT same thing... just today, actually. I was thinking about who I'd run up to first and how I shouldn't scream too loudly (in case the neighbors hear and call the police... :)) until I realized that I'm just setting myself up for what could be a HUGE disappointment.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm trying to prepare myself, too. But I still keep imagining how wonderful it would be to drive up to New Haven and buy myself a yale hoodie or something, if I'm accepted. And then I think...I shouldn't be thinking this, because the chances that I'll actually recieve an acceptance letter are slim. Gah!</p>
<p>BTW, Kebree, yes the Princeton board is cool. You guys are part of the reason why, a month ago, I decided I'd apply there. There was also the financial aid factor...Princeton is supposedly better than most at giving financial aid to middle class folk. I watched Beginnings when you all were talking about it and I was like...aw...I'd go there. Princeton, Columbia and Chicago are where my main hopes lie if Yale...no, I won't say the word.</p>
<p>I keep thinking of all the people who have asked me to call them "right away" to let them know - they won't get calls if I don't get an acceptance... So I snap out of it and try to focus on my calculus work. Bleh.</p>
<p>Wow vivaldi, that could not be a more identical description of what I am going through.
Every day, it's:
"So when do you find out about Yale? ... Oh the 15th/16th! ..Call me!"
And I am trying to focus on finals, particularly Calculus...but no, it always ends up gravitating towards Yale somehow.<br>
Do they really think I will be in the mood to call them if I get deferred/rejected?</p>
<p>Today, a teacher (one who helped me on my application) asked me if I was still alive...</p>
<p>haha..jeez..</p>
