My acceptance to Cornell is like escapism. The ONLY problem is... I can't focus!

<p>To those of you who got into Cornell for the Class of 2013, congrats!
I promise i'll try my best to hug each and one of you if we happen to meet.
I'm facing a little problem now and i need your help and guidance... </p>

<p>You see, ever since i got into Cornell on that fateful day of April 1st, for these whole 23 days i could not wholly commit to my studies here. As an IB student(advisable that you dont take it), i have my final graduating exams in 11 days. Yet, despite the importance of this, my mind is so absorbed with Cornell(e.g. housing and dining forms) that i really find it hard to commit myself to revisions. </p>

<p>Anyone in the same shoes? If so, LETS HELP EACH OTHER!
haha i guess this is a price to pay when you werent expecting to get in..</p>

<p>Ever since I was waitlisted, I haven’t been able to concentrate at all either.
(…if you know me, you know why, lol…)
Don’t worry, it’s a ‘price’ paid when you were thought you could get in too, ;)</p>

<p>Just remember that if you lose your edge from now though summer till fall classes, it’ll be really tough getting back in the groove for school. I can’t believe I just typed ‘get back in the groove’.</p>

<p>Yeah it is hard!! Sometimes I would do things that I normally wouldn’t do. Like procrastinate or do things at the very last minute. It’s like its over all ready but its not over at all!!! But I know I do have self control and will not procrastinate or do things at the very last minute a Cornell. Just try your best :)!!</p>

<p>Haha, i got in ED, and honestly since then, I stopped caring about school. I knew that i could be rescinded but honestly, i was just checking cornell related stuff non stop haha. No worries though, only 2 more months of school, then summer, and then Cornell!</p>
