<p>hahaha…I am doing the exact same thing! I have a paper on Macbeth due tomorrow and I can not concentrate at all!</p>
<p>I got a letter of rec from a current student there, which apparently counts for something. Seriously, I’ve had almost no homework at all these past two weeks. I wish I had more hahaha. I just sit around worrying!</p>
<p>want my paper? seriously you can have it hahah
cause its not helping distract me at alllll</p>
<p>I can’t focus on reading Jane Eyre for my english class and we have an on-demand on Monday. I keep telling myself I will get to reeading it this weekend after I get that letter. I really have never felt like this before…It’s like I have put my future in someone else’s hands</p>
<p>Honestly, I would give anything for an English paper right now. I had a huge research paper due a couple of weeks ago and I wish I was doing it now. Maybe I’m crazy, but I love writing and English so I never mind doing the work.</p>
<p>hahaha…you can take my Macbeth paper and the memorization of a Macbeth quote…I’m trying to think of what other assignments i have…oh, and I have a review assignment for my test on Friday in AP Microeconomics if you really want to be distracted. :)</p>
<p>I had a lot of big tests last week but this week…nothing (besides reading of course). and I am preparing for a snow day tomorrow so I will be sitting at home anticipating all day</p>
<p>AHHH I KNOW!! thats just it, its out of our hands and its kind of killing meee.
some person who doesnt even know us or how hard we’ve worked or how much we want this is going to get a couple of pieces of paper with some arbitrary numbers and a couple of essays and point blank decide our future… decide how the next few months will go… the next few years… the rest of our lives…
like w t fffffffff hahah really?
The college process was obviously not designed by applicants</p>
<p>i love english too its just getting it started i guess…
anddd last year we went over Macbeth literally not joking for like 3 months, i know half of it from memory still sooo if you need any help let me know</p>
<p>hahaha…yea, but I feel like there was nothing that I could have added or taken away from my application to make it represent me anymore than it already does…it’s hard to think that you’ve worked so hard on something and then some stranger decides your fate…</p>
<p>my paper is on Macbeth’s ambition…so it’s not that hard…it’s just being able to concentrate that is the hard thing!</p>
<p>i understand trustttttttt</p>
<p>Thank goodness I found you guys; now I’ve others to stress out with. As is probably predicted, I applied to Swat ED as well. And I’m nervous. Very nervous.</p>
<p>Just a few clarifications on some interesting tidbits I found whilst reviewing your blog. So the acceptance/deferral/rejection (preferably not the latter two, though) letters will be sent by mail? Perhaps sometime later this week?</p>
<p>And I’m trying to remember from the info session I attended; was 20 or 40% of the class the limit for the number of slots they’d be filling through ED? (Though it’d be really thoughtful of you to lie and tell me the latter, the truth would be much appreciated nonetheless.)</p>
<p>Best of luck to all of you! Honestly, I’d prefer you guys get in before I do; you all seem wonderful. But I suppose that decision has to be made by the committee… :-/</p>
<p>I remember reading that Swarthmore tries to keep ED acceptances to less than 20% of total acceptances, but the actual class is about 40% ED.</p>
<p>that actually wasn’t my blog, that was one that the someone from Swat does. and it sounded like they had already mailed the letters.</p>
<p>I’m not sure of the numbers, someone else may know that number.</p>
<p>Good luck to you too!</p>

<p>Microeconomics… not really my thing! hahaha Macbeth I could do though. My Ap English class just read Heart of Darkness last week Metamorphosis this week. Of course all we did was timed writings and discussions haha.</p>
<p>When I printed out my application and held it in my hands my head couldn’t wrap around the fact that this stack of papers was me. Everything I worked so hard for the past 18 years of my life; its totally ridiculous!</p>
<p>I love economics! I’m taking Macroecon next semester.</p>
<p>by Franz Kafka? I love Kafka! Mine is dual enrollment Freshman English/British Literature…so we’re getting ready to start Hamlet.</p>
<p>haha i have a paper due on tempest next monday…and im still on act 2 of the book. if i werent so stressed out about swat right now, i wouldve finished my math homework and read the book to at least act 3. but noo, im still on the math homework. hahaa im soo extremely stressed out. i think tomorrow i might call them and ask when were gonna be receiving our letters? but my guess is thursday…ahhhH!!!</p>
<p>just read the last lines of the blog linked
“The only mistakes the admissions committee makes are the people we reject.” Even President Obama didn’t get in to Swarthmore!</p>
