Time yet for a hundred indecisions...

From the Stanford website:

Single-Choice Early Action Decision Notification
A Message from the Office of Admission

Applicants who applied for freshman admission through Stanford's Single-Choice Early Action program will receive an email after 3pm (Pacific Time) on Friday, December 15, explaining how they will be able to access their admission decision on-line, via a secure, password-protected website. Hard copy decisions will also be mailed to all Single-Choice Early Action applicants on Friday, December 15. Decisions will not be released in person or over the phone.


Because they couldn't possibly have taken any longer about it!!! My god, I think I'll seriously die before I hear back. I'm so not functional right now. And to top it off, after school on Friday I have to get a shot -- HPV vaccination, in case anyone cared -- and the tenser your muscles are when they give you a shot, the more it hurts. Think I'm going to be just the teensiest bit tense?

Only person who has it worse than me is Luke, who has to wait all the way until 6:00. Killer time differences suck. (Well, for Luke they do. For my west coast friends applying to east coast schools, they're rather nice.)

Permission to go die now?

I haven't received that message. You're far too tense if you're SEEKING that sort of thing out. The application decision is burried in my mind, but my behavior shows maybe a few nerves. Maybe. Y'know. Just a little on edge (ahem) and uptight. I have NEVER threatened to eat more children in a week. And who's TAPPING?

I only went looking for it because these other kids in my Calculus class were talking about it...they're applying there early as well. I wanted to make sure they had their info from a reliable source.

But I know what you mean. With me it's not so much tapping as the feeling in my stomach that says I might have the flu. Honestly, I'm just waiting for all of this to be over.

No, no. The guy who has decided to sit behind me in The Calc taps constantly. He's going down tomorrow... 3:15 at the monkey bars. My point is folks is irritating right now.

Ah, I see. Take him on, Luke. I know you can.

Folks *is* annoying right now -- mostly when they think they're being encouraging or reassuring, too. It's a pity.

Damn right I can take him on.

Speaking of which... if I get in on Friday, the first person to know will not be my parents or friends.

"Mr Kealey, nice to hear from you again!"

Please don't die, I'll miss you too much!

Friday will be here before you know it. Just keep busy. Go for a bike ride, hang out with people, relax a bit.

I'm trying! My plan was to get lost in a really good book...but as of yet, I haven't found one worth getting lost in.

-hugs- It'll ALL be okay, my dear, no doubts you'll go where God intends you.

Don't die, your mind is too big to lose! That said, I still really hope you'll get into Stanford; I know it means a lot to you.

My nerves are on edge for you. I can't even think about how crazy I'm going to be next year when it's my turn.
