<p>parents? friends? CC?</p>

<ol>
<li>CC (being close at hand)</li>
<li>the friend I'm having dinner with</li>

<p>Hmm...I think the list is the same whether I get accepted or rejected.</p>

<p>I think for me this depends on the decision...I'll be at a hotel with friends so I guess they're first. Then maybe if I'm accepted I'll run up and down the halls screaming to everyone I see...I suppose in this scenario it'll just depend on who happens to be an innocent bystander...</p>

<p>i don't even know if this will be the real order .. haha cus it'll just depend on where i am, what i'm doing, what i'm feeling, what i'm wearing, the weather and everything else!</p>

<p>but if we do get the email at 5pm on dec 10th.. it'll be like 6am on dec 11th for me... and i'm planning on partying all night then crashing at a friend's house or get them to come to my house..</p>

<p>so.. i guess 1. my friends that are with me
2. cc (cus i'll go straight on the comp to tell u guys the good news)
3. first thing in the morning when my parents are up.. ill tell them the ECSTATIC news.
4. ill get home then call my grandparents and other relatives
5. then all my other friends and the rest of the world (if my friends that know haven't already told them)
6. school will have closed by then.. so ill just email ALL my teachers!!!!!</p>

<p>my goodness i was prctically CRYING while reading these posts...if we all get rejected it will be just about the most depressing thing ever...and thinking about opening up that mail folder and seeing Columbia in that "sender" column...i get chills and butterflies....we are really tearing ourselves up, are we not?</p>
