<p>I can't believe it's tomorrow. Like... wow.</p>

<p>i need more ways to pass the time. i just filled out that whole list (minus "why do you think...) because i need something to distract me.</p>

5

<p>I told my son that if he gets admitted tomorrow, I will change his last name to SHOOT, and asked what his first name should be. He said, "Aw Cr*p."</p>

6

<p>I think you should also include the date the mail informing us of release of decisions was received :D After so much speculation in the other thread, we might get a clue if some of us were actually right in predicting the pattern in which the emails were sent</p>

<p>I will come back to edit this beginning part tonight, but anyone want to make predictions just to see how accurate everyone is at guessing, just for fun? I won't be mad if you predict a rejection haha.
