<p>LOL - But I DO think they love Tech for the most part (hopefully, not only the actors!) My D loves being holed up in the theatre for 12 hours or more, creating strong bonds with the cast and crew and ignoring the outside world. I think the only part she really dislikes is cue-to-cue, when you don’t really get anything going before you hear “hold!” The crew perspective may be entirely different, however!</p>
<p>I heard the hum of the mail truck in the distance.<br>
My heart rate increases as the truck inches closer.(HBpressure pills already taken:check)
Closer.
The sound of the mailbox opening and closing.
The mail truck inches away to my neighbors.
Count to 10, wait.
Check mail.
One large envelope and then some small white ones.
OK, the large envelope is more follow up paraphernalia from a not going there academic without a matching artistic.
Next.
Small envelopes are just bills, phew (never thought I’d say phew for bills)
Waiting, Waiting, Waiting…knowing the result in my heart but waiting for the paper to prove it.<br>
Another day with no rejections is a good day.
Carry on and may your mailboxes provide you with smiles or at least resolution.</p>
<p>Love it mom2gals- I don’t get mail until 4ish so actually days off are the worst-----really have I gone that crazy that I want the distraction of work!</p>
<p>Gosh, mom2gals - how can you stand it? I’d be standing there with a martini in hand . . . even in the morning!</p>
<p>mom2gals- love this post! Our mail arrives at the ungodly hour of 6pm! I can relate to wishing for work to keep me distracted! Hang in there everyone!</p>
<p>I can confirm that the Martini approach works wonders.</p>
<p>So…are you saying we should serve the Martinis to ourselves or to our mailmen with the hope they will bring good news? ;-)</p>
<p>I consider the mailman the enmy until proven otherwise. No Martini for him!</p>
<p>I’ve actually been disciplining myself to do one more task in the house, and just one more, and just one more before running to the mailbox. Because I’m finding that the anticipation of something–an acceptance OR a rejection–is actually better than getting nothing at all! The letdown day after day is getting to us.</p>
<p>I am a music parent but have been following your thread with great amusement and sympathy, as we share your pain!!! If any of my other children decide to take this path I will make sure I book a vacation far away from my mailbox from the day the auditions end until at least the third week in March!!!</p>
<p>That period feels like about seven years.</p>
<p>NYsaxmom, I have a music kid and a theater kid. I thought the music applications were the most stressful thing ever…until my youngest daughter applied to theater programs last year!</p>
<p>7 years sounds about right. Time seems to be in slow motion. I wish I could press fast forward and get it over with! </p>

<p>Our D got into the BFA Acting @ Marymount. She was intent on the BFA (although I think it’s because she thinks all she’ll have to do is act all day). Ha!</p>
<p>She’s waiting on Pace which I think the writing is on the wall if you haven’t heard from them yet. She’ll be extremely disappointed - Pace is her dream school. But at least she has a place. And if she doesn’t get a call tonight from Pace, I think she’ll know. </p>
<p>And the process will be over for us. </p>
<p>All but the Martinis.</p>
<p>I have yet to get my own mail as my son is on spring break and as beaten me to it every day this week. Nothing, nada, zilch. Bring on the martini(s).</p>
<p>Hang in there, Photo!</p>
<p>Congrats hdparker on the MMC BFA Acting acceptance! That is my son’s only BFA acceptance so far with 6 letters still on there way to determine his fate.
He was also accepted for a BFA MT at William Peace University, a growing program on Raleigh, NC.
But any real decisions can’t be made until those letters get here. Martini time…</p>

<p>Same. Nothing.</p>
<p>Was hoping to a least see the UNCSA letter which BookOwl said her son received yesterday. I have the email from admissions based on my clarifcation request as to what “UNCSA Admit Decision means” saying its coming but would still like to see the actual letter. </p>
<p>Ithaca has now been in limbo almost two weeks since supposedly a decision was made.</p>
<p>Definitely would like to fast forward these two weeks.</p>
<p>It really is brutal. Hang in there, guys. </p>
<p>Thanks, CJenny2!</p>
<p>I am enjoying the nothing of today because it means we have another day of just chillin about this. No news is good news at least for today’s sanity, my friends.</p>
