<p><strong>imagine desert</strong></p>
<p><strong>imagine us: tired and ravaged and thirsty</strong></p>
<p><strong>imagine us crawling on sand towards oasis for 1.5 months</strong></p>
<p>Question: Is the oasis real or will it disappear when we reach it?</p>
<p><strong>sigh</strong></p>
<p>:D It better be real, for all the anguish we've been through and are still going through!</p>
<p>I had a "decision" dream, but my mom woke me up before I could find out whether I was accepted, rejected, or deferred...<strong>shudder</strong> And these Stanford dreams are a lot are real than any other dreams I've had in terms of how I'm feeling and how, well...REAL they are... :D So far I haven't had a rejection or deferral dream (and I hope I never do!).</p>
<p>Anyone else having dreams? :p</p>
<p>haha, i thought of a yummy cake. A dessert.</p>
<p>I've been having dreams, but they're not Stanford-related. That totally counts, I know. (:</p>
<p>I'm sure I won't be able to sleep, eat, or breathe the week leading up to Dec. 15, though.</p>
<p>lol devaaki a dessert...</p>
<p>man i want stanford dreams now! </p>
<p>maybe i've been repressing all of them because they're too traumatizing or something. or maybe i'm too occupied getting every single app thing finished and double checked and mailed. </p>
<p>i really wish i would stop OD-ing and handle everything in a composed and mature everything-will-be-fine way, but instead i freak myself out every morning, such as TODAY, when i woke up going "uh-oh, better schedule MIT interview within the next 24 hours, and oh yeah! i'm essentially screwed with these other billion items on my to-do-list."</p>
<p>i think i need my mommy! but some apple cinnamon oatmeal will do...hmm cravings.</p>
<p>mmm...food...</p>
<p>I cooked all of our Thanksgiving "dinner." :D I <3 cooking...whatever I can do...mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, biscuits, crowns, chocolate cake, stuffing, mmm...</p>
<p>Chocolate cake = yummy
Creme brulee is awesome though...
Actually, I big on salty foods and breads, but the ocassional yummy dessert makes my day.</p>
<p>Has everyone had Coldstone ice cream before? Uber-expensive, but sooo yummy...</p>
<p><strong>Actually, I just shared this one Starbucks thing with my parents. It was a bunch of donut holes stuck together like a pastry which chocolate icing lines on it...donuts = yummy!</strong></p>
<p>Yes, donuts are great. My sis worked at coldstone, and then my ex girlfriend as well. Plenty of Coldstone for me. Expensive is the word....</p>
<p>I had just about enough meat to explode the world. Tryptophan didn't really kick in though. I think it's all hype :P</p>
<p>I love cooking too. Nobody, NOBODY, makes a meaner beef broth than me. (other than my dad, who taught me)</p>
<p>Oh man, this thread is awesome...rofling...</p>
<p>Hahahahahaha...</p>
<p>Haha, that was pretty funny. I've never had any college dreams, but I'm sure I've had food dreams, haha.</p>

<p>Aaahhh...<strong>dream</strong></p>
<p>Tryptophan doesn't really make you tired.. there's not enough of it in turkey.. there's about as much in turkey as in beef and chicken =D it's just the blood going to your digestive system.</p>
<p>Look it up! It's true =D</p>
<p>naah, tryptophan is good for you... its the precursor to serotonin or something... which is that happy neurotransmitter :-D</p>
<p>anyway, best of luck to all you guys!</p>
<p>Oh gawd those pictures... ;)</p>
<p>Man.</p>
<p>I know man.. I had dreams about college apps last night. Only it was just filling out the apps (I am so far behind) and not actually hearing back.</p>
<p>OMG, THE PICTURES!! ): I want a big envelope.</p>
<p>Though the "Congratulations" isn't nearly as obnoxious as I'd pictured it. I figured it was going to be some lame stamp-like thing, in all-caps and the red border around it that said CONGRATULATIONS!</p>
<p>But then again, it is Stanford, so idk what I was thinking.</p>
<p>I didn't even know that there was going to be something that obvious printed on the outside of the envelope. I had heard about thick/big vs. thin/small, but I thought that could still be ambiguous... I guess Stanford is pretty nice in making the decision obvious =]</p>
<p>Uhhh...not if you get rejected I would think...haha</p>
<p>LoL... but I think it's best to know the decision once you see the envelope instead of having to tear it open... especially for a stressed-out person like me who will go into a panic while finding something to open the envelope with.</p>
<p>Then again, I don't know if it would be any easier if there was a small envelope with "Sorry." on the outside...</p>
<p>Do you US citizens / residents receive the decisions online? Or only via mail?</p>
<p>Everybody can see them online, I think.</p>
<p>Wow, this early action process is incredibly exciting. Sooo much more so than regular decision for obvious reasons. The highlight of my senior year, regardless of the final outcome. =DDD </p>
<p>Let's keep telling ourselves that everything'll be okay...</p>
