<p>What are you guys doing to keep your mind off of HADES until March 10?
I'm having a hard time doing this...</p>
<p>Also, what is your schedule for the 10th? What will you do hour-by-hour on that day?</p>
<p>It would be great if prep schools had “likely letters” similar to colleges.</p>
<p>Plan is to track down mail carrier somewhere on that day’s route and beg for mail.</p>
<p>Haven’t kept my mind off it. Instead, I’ve chosen, or, well, more been forced by my own obsessive mind to focus completely on March 10 and think of nothing else. It is quite agonizing and not particularly productive.</p>
<p>alright, well if they dont have an online decision thingamajig at six in the morning.
i will wake up sweating, lay in bed for about 15 minutes thinking about how my life will change. pray. then i will get and go to school w.out trying to faint. on march 10, i have g&t, that will keep my mind off of it a little, cause ill be acting and i have to focus. but on the bus ride to and from g&t i will most likely be biting my fingernails. i will try to focus on schoolwork once i get back. hopefully i wont have a test that day. i will pray and pray to and pray to god. then, i will walk home, maybe run. and get the keys for the mailbox. and then i will open the mailbox with pure hope…</p>
<p>i try to keep my mind off of it, but sometimes i do like to think about it. basically, i watch tv, go on the computer, or crap like that. a great idea would be to do math homework, i get too caught up in that. lol.</p>
<p>oooh you’ll be acting?? in what?</p>
<p>no, its just rehearsal. the real thing is in like may-ish.</p>

<p>Deerkiss, save the attitude, not everyone knows all the facts.</p>
<p>Euhm Deerkiss some Schools like Andover send the day before with fed ex overnight shipping so they do arrive on March 10th. !</p>
<p>I thought some schools overnight them, so that you get them on march 10th??
well only the acceptances</p>
<p>deerkiss: why does it seem like everything you post is so negative? 
I don’t know about all schools, but I know that several of them ship acceptances overnight so they DO arrive on the tenth, and you shouldn’t call people ■■■■■■■■ it’s unkind :o</p>
<p>Calling someone ■■■■■■■■ is insensitive and just plain rude. Why? </p>
<p>Some schools, as said, send them on the ninth, and many schools give decisions online, so March 10 will be a big day.</p>
<p>Exactly. Look at the “I’m in!!!” thread from last year. First post was on March 10 at 6 am. Many, many posts followed quickly.</p>
<p>My Andover acceptance was mailed FedEx overnight on the 9th. I live in England so it arrived on the 11th, but domestic applicants should receive acceptances on the 10th.</p>
<p>Deerkiss, I’m sorry, but please stop acting as if you know everything. You make it very, very clear that you don’t. You’d do well to admit your own limitations. Otherwise you’ll just be embarrassed when you’re proven wrong - and judging by your recent posts, you’ll be proven wrong almost consistently.</p>
<p>Can’t believe many of you having such a hard time keeping your mind away from March 10th.</p>
<p>I was talking to my son that day about leaving on March 12th for vacation, so we may miss some of the mails from schools. He was like “missing what?” “you know, March 10 letters?” “what about March 10th?” I guess he has forgotten what he was busy with before last Xmas. </p>
<p>At his school, a good portion of the 8th graders are applying out, they don’t seem talking much about it either, like no one cares or cares that much.</p>
<p>Some schools say March 10 - decisions MAILED.
Some just say March 10 - decisions</p>
<p>My daughter who has been very laid back in this process announced last night that it is2 weeks until March 10 and is worried. As with FayMom, a good number of 8th graders at her school have applied, and only one or two are talking about it with her.</p>
<p>I will be having placement tests for upper school that whole week, so I will have enough to worry about.</p>
<p>I only know of one person who is applying at my school and that’s swissbrit and I don’t actually know who he is. I can’t imagine forgetting although I assume ( i could be entirely wrong, sorry if I am) that the BS process due to your presence on this forum was suggested or at least strongly supported by you. For me, this process was started, managed and completed with very little parent support and solely driven by me, I put so much effort into convincing my parents and researching FA/schools and the apps that I couldn’t bear to forget.
when I applied to my old school, I totally forgot when stuff came out even though I wanted to attend and worked hard to get in. I just wasn’t as emotionlly invested.</p>
<p>COMPLETELY AGREE, BlueRaven. It was exactly the same for me.</p>
<p>5:30 - Wake up and don’t look for decisions online
6:45 - Speech class
8:00 - Band!
9:00-2:35 - Other boring classes
2:35-4:00 - Tutor or go running
4:15 - Get home, open the mail. I probably won’t receive anything, so I may or may not look online (probably not).</p>
