Happy 2013!
I've actually (strangely?) been pretty calm about this whole thing so far. Don't get me wrong, I've definitely been checking the results page several times a day, and I keep my phone near me at all times, but I haven't started obsessing about it yet. Yet, is the key word though. I keep wondering how long this will last. I have a feeling that it probably won't last much longer (I've actually been somewhat anxious today but hoping it's just a fluke). I should hear back sometime around mid-Jan through mid-Feb so it's still pretty early for my programs, but as we get closer to that time frame, I have a feeling my anxiety level will increase considerably. I must admit though, I'm jealous of those of you who have already heard back!
I'm also a tad neurotic so it's best to keep busy. I don't have classes this semester so I unfortunately won't have those as a distraction, but I'm hoping I will still be pretty busy with my job, lab stuff, and TAing...not to mention writing my master's thesis. In case those won't keep me busy enough though, I'm also planning on the following:
~Running every other day (with yoga/ballet/weights on the non-running days)
~Crocheting myself a scarf
~Video games/movies/books
~Cleaning/organizing my stuff to make my life easier when I have to move
~Arranging more outings with my friends
Hopefully it will work. I let the anxiety get to me last year, and I really don't want to feel that way again this year.
