Tips to expediate this awful 2-day wait

<p>At least you guys have school as a partial distraction. I am home sick for the second day in a row and there is nothing that I can do except think about college decisions, it is the absolute worst case scenario.</p>

<p>knows11,
S is home sick too, I've settled him in with herbal tea and the LOTR trilogy. Star Wars too. I think the stress of waiting is hurting his recup time. Just relax and immerse yourself in something NOT college related. Good luck tomorrow!</p>

<p>I'm dangling a string in front of my cat and pulling it away when he snatches at it. Oh, the appropriate irony.</p>

<p>I feel your pain, knows11. I'm on Spring Break this week! Worst spring break of my life. :p</p>

<p>tkm256, that is the funniest strategy that I have ever heard to pass the time. Yeah, well, being sick at hime today I have just been watching romantic comedies all day long, there is nothing better than a good laugh with an uplifting ending.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm sick too. I should be working on my english essay and catching up on all of the other work on which I'm behind, but instead I've spent most of the day sleeping, on CC or on the Vassar '10 admit board (the only school I've heard from so far).</p>

<p>Just a little bit over a day!</p>

<p>Heh, ironic indeed tkm256. I had work today and the past 2 days (so didn't get home until 7), then homework, watched Scrubs yesterday... I've been quite busy. But tomorrow... I'm free.<br>
It's interesting though. On Thursdays, I usually have an internship thing to go to, 3:00-6:00 at a hospital, but tomorrow, they're changing around all the computers at the hospital and don't want any volunteers/high school students there as part of the program. So I get to stay home. It's kind of like a sign... I hope?</p>

<p>Anyone else predicting that the Brown server is going to be superslow tomorrow around 5ish?</p>

<p>Yeah. Especially since me and probably you guys and thousands of others are gonna be there at 4:30 hitting "Refresh" every 7 seconds.</p>

<p>Wait... I'm confused about the time it will be posted up. The website says 5 pm local time, which would mean that east coasters would get their decisions before west coasters. is that the way it works?</p>

<p>It means 5pm ET, meaning 2pm Western.</p>

<p>Just a word to the wise...</p>

<p>So many people are going to be signing in at 5 PM tomorrow, and the server will be really busy and slow. So you may want to wait a little longer (I KNOW it's hard) before you check, so you don't freak out when it A) takes forever to load or B) times out on you or C) just doesn't work. </p>

<p>For me, I didn't get my decision til' about 5:22 PM of the early decision day, and that was pretty early compared to others. </p>

<p>Good luck to all :-)</p>

<p>Yeah im not checking until later that evening, even though it will be very difficult to restrain myself</p>
