The Road

[FarBetterRest]

Well, I've been accepted into this many schools: 0 * 1.

I've been rejected from this many schools: 3 * 1.

Doing the math here and I can't help but feel like I'm on a losing streak.

Jokes aside, anybody else in the same boat? With 3 rejections down and only 6 schools left to go, I can't help but feel dejected. How do you all cope with this waiting?

The same way i cope with being single on Valentine's Day: self-aggrandizing rants and Jim Beam. Also, maybe a Charlie Kaufman flick.

What about self-loathing, rather than self-aggrandizing? Think that sounds just as productive? haha

Ditto on the self-loathing. It's an odd, surprisingly pleasant day when I manage not to question nearly every decision I've made for the last six or seven years! I have heard hardly anything back from my programs. I have eleven apps just floating along in the ether. I really thought I'd know a little more by now, and it is definitely leading to a speedy descent into madness. Every ten minutes or so, I wonder if I should check my email. I have even stared at my phone once or twice (okay, maybe thrice) and tried to will it to ring. Yay, sanity. :-)

Hang tight. February is officially half-way over.

I feel all of that, man. Constant refreshing is driving me nuts. There's only one school on my list that I'm SUPER confident wants me,  the rest are all up in the air. 

At least we're struggling together!
