<p>So when the "early write" thread just started out (well, as a bump to this year) I started fanatically checking CC for information about early writes, even though how much I knew about the process was not going to affect whether or not I was going to get one...I rationalized my obsession by saying that I was easing my mind by gathering as much information as possible, when really I just started overanalyzing everything about my situation and tried to apply every new admissions info tidbit to it..
ANYway I got an early write, but I can't kick the habit. I know there are a lot of other people who are still stuck in the limbo of compulsively checking CC for information/fretting over early rd admittance bc they haven't seen anything in the mail- I mean there's like 14000 views of that thread- so I think it's time we got a superficial thread in here...hopefully it can be a little more cathartic for all yall who haven't heard yet- I can't imagine though what looking at the calendar and seeing 10 days between now and april 1 feels like- I was checking my mail for a week and I was dyingg so my sympathy to all of you who don't really know when you'll hear and haven't known for a freaking month..
so: on the subject of wasting time until the waiting game's over and ALL the letters are out, I saw this thing on another forum- you answer the most recent question and then ask a question of your own. </p>
