Thank you!! this actually did the trick...I have successfully been sucked into this for the past half hour instead of cycling through my apps over and over again. Also, one of the best cat sites I've seen online, haha.

This is a great thread. With that said, I will probably do none of the things suggested, and just keep checking non-changing statuses.

Cool!!!

2. Sit on your bedroom floor and eat cereal straight from the box. A lot of cereal.

OMG.... Can't believe that another girl on the other side of the Earth is doing this, too!

Lock yourself in your room with hot pockets, wine and netflix and sit there for a month.

I wish I had one people would WANT to do. I spent most of my time creating a 12 page final exam, and then subsequently GRADING the 282 question final... yeah... about that...

On the bright side, it took my mind and time away from the stress of waiting during critical time point. Heh heh heh...

I joined Goodreads - it has a resolution-setter for how many books you aspire to read this year, so I'm trying to actually hit my ideal number. It's been incredibly distracting and calming, particularly because I walked in the library for the first time in years the other day for all things non-academic. The website itself keeps me easily distracted, which I like when I get in OCD-check-status-mode from 9-5 on weekdays.

Enjoy your pets.

Consider where to apply next year - I haven't totally thrown in the towel on being accepted, I just feel better when my life's in order, so I'm already researching programs I unfortunately found out I wished I'd applied to this cycle. It gives me hope just to look at school websites and feel the excitement of Potential though.

Volunteer in your community - hospice is a good one. My hospice patients always put my life in perspective compared to the big picture.
