Congratulation to "The_Freak" first!
Yet somehow I feel even worse when knowing that somebody else got updated while I still didn't. Moreover I still have other universities to wait in "early- or mid-March".

No MDev applicants have heard back yet right?
Not yet. Neither e-mail nor online tracker update.

Postponed to March too. At least not bad news though.

Making me crazy waiting for the result for IHEID.... Having one last final exam tomorrow morning but totally have no mind to review for that....

Suddenly thinks of a quote from the great Chinese philosopher Mencius, translated by James Legge.
Thus, when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil. It exposes his body to hunger, and subjects him to extreme poverty. It confounds his undertakings. By all these methods it stimulates his mind, hardens his nature, and supplies his incompetencies.
Taking the waiting as an exercise from the heaven before the great award may make us feel better.
