<p>hahahaha GOOD POINT Mal. :)</p>
<p>^
I sent a joke text to my friend at 11 last night saying “OMG I GOT INTO HARVARD!!! … not.”</p>
<p>Apparently she didn’t see the not and told all her friends and family that I got in. When i saw her today she congratulated me in front of my English class… after some cheers I had to explain I was kidding. She checked her phone and was like “Oh… there was a not at the end…” Awkward silence. Then class started.</p>
<p>Last time I do that…</p>
<p>@ Pomegrante
Sounds like you are the man with a plan</p>
<p>^^^^damn straight</p>
<p>My plan?
Laugh derisively at the Ivy League, who had the audacity to reject me!</p>
<p>In reality?
Probably mope about it for a day or two, and then go to… Geneseo? Bleargh.</p>
<p>I’m with Chandler.</p>
<p>If you get rejected send an e-mail saying you never received your decision but would like to withdraw your app. Ego in tact! </p>
<p>In Soviet Russia… college no reject applicant, applicant reject college!</p>
<p>^ In that case, I am ALL about Soviet Russia. 
</p>
<p>But on decision day, I don’t know. </p>
<p>School till 1-ish (homeschooled, yay!)
Then maybe plunk on the piano for a bit
Take the dogs for a walk
Camp out on CC from 2:30 on? (Decisions come out at three my time)</p>
<p>i’m gonna be at school like most, but i know multiple ways to get to a computer so i can check–only prob is this is right before I leave with the band for our spring break trip to disney! I’m waiting for 2 other schools too-this will either make or break my mood for the entire trip</p>
<p>your mom!!! (sorry i just had to)</p>
<p>@ Mal: that’s a good idea… all I’ve done so far is check and tell my parents right away… they’ve all been acceptances, but goodness knows I’m due for a rejection sometime soon… :/</p>
<p>anyway, I have no plan. my mother scheduled a dentist appointment at 10:15 and our dentist is about an hour away, so I’ll probably be asleep from the trip or visiting relatives out of town. :p</p>
<p>ChandlerBing, i sincerely hope that we do not meet at geneseo. well, actually, it wouldn’t be so bad if we did! </p>
<p>I think that I may die of a brain aneurysm in biology class that day. I’ve been eating a ridiculous amount of high-cholesterol foods (eggs are my comfort food, of all things) because of college app stress. I suspect an impending aneurysm because I have had a headache that seems to be throbbing from very deep within my brain. (Don’t know if that’s okay or not!)</p>
<p>But if I don’t die, I will somehow make it through my classes with my heart lodged in my throat. If my fellow Ivy applicant friend tries to talk to me, I would probably noticeably struggle to feign a reassuring smile for her, while in my mind I am cursing the world for endowing her with so much more of a chance than it gave me. (You see, not only am I worried, but I am, admittedly, too selfish to be happy for my friend, who at this point is definitely getting into most, if not all, of her Ivies!)</p>
<p>Then I will drag my sorry rejected ass home to my laptop, remain unable to eat my usual after-school indulgence of runny egg yolks with oatmeal (wasn’t kidding about my egg addiction), and struggle to suppress screams of frustration as I sit forced to endure the slowed online traffic.</p>
<p>I’ve even planned how I’ll handle my (inevitable) rejections: Tumble onto my knees with my face heavenward and utter in an earsplitting cry of anguish: “OH, CRUEL WORLD!” at least fifteen times.</p>
<p>Well, I checked for Brown ED at school, which was a massive mistake. Deferral sent me on a rampage through the library pulling books off the shelves and tossing them on the floor. Haha no, this time I’ll be at home for it all. Sleep through every class, bring the girls’ tennis team a cooler of water, sleep some more, and come home and check.</p>
<p>I might just tape my fingers together, crossed.</p>
<p>I dont know how I will last through classes…</p>
<p>I will sleep, work out, and then frantically refresh the page at 3:00 my time</p>
<p>lalalalalalalalalalalaalalaal is all that is going through my brain at this point</p>
<p>what are you going to do on decision day if/after you get rejected?</p>
<p>^ Eggs, huh? They’re brain food, ya know. Once, right before a quiz bowl tournament, my coach made us eat 'em for like a week straight. I got so sick of them, I haven’t had another since.</p>
<p>^ For me, a day is not complete without eggs.</p>
<p>But as for your comment, I don’t think that eggs have made me any smarter! ;)</p>
<p>if i’m rejected, i’ll fall to my knees, cradling my laptop, and look at the sky and yell " why, dammit!? whyyyyyyy!!!" maybe even pound the computer screen like i was trying to give it cpr
or, you know, just kinda shrug, be disappointed, and work my anger off at weights the next day</p>
<p>I will be in orchestra practicing for a broadway show at my school till 5. I’m in Tucson, so that’s 3 (?) hours after decisions come out for me. I will have to wait till I get home I guess…I could check on a teacher’s computer, but I want my parents around when I check. </p>
<p>Best of luck everybody!</p>
<p>^ Oooh, what Broadway show??? (on another note, didn’t you apply to IUP-RECHC? Have you heard?)</p>
