What were you doing when you received your acceptance?
sbroccoli replied to YA_RLY's topic in Waiting it Out
Finally have all of my decisions -- accepted to 2 of 3 schools I applied to. YAY! Cornell : I had a Skype interview which I had to take at work because of the time, so I had reserved a conference room for myself. They told me I was in during the interview. Cue : me jumping on conference table in excitement. University of Chicago : I had spent a long morning working from home and compulsively checking my email. Finally decided to go into the office. Was in the garage parking a scooter and decided that (as soon as I had stopped moving) I needed to refresh my email again right then. Saw mysterious email from 'admissions'. Nearly dropped scooter. Got it onto the kickstand and waited for the email to load (since I was in an underground parking garage). Finally saw Congratulations!... -
This is amazing.

Emails that don't turn out to be from grad school
sbroccoli replied to Nirvik's topic in Waiting it Out
My personal favorite : I get the email newsletter from the MIT Technology Review. Every. Single. Morning. I wake up and immediately see 'MIT', freak out... and then realize that it's just today's news. May need to unsubscribe to that one to preserve sanity for the next while.
