Sadly a lot of my EA waiting is not as well documented as it could have been because I kept a lot of that under wraps during the application process (and then randomly blogged 'ta da, I'm going to Yale!') because I didn't know what the results would be and didn't want to alienate or offend other admissions offices that I knew were reading my blog... etc. mhm, I understand completely.

But o man, FORTY-FIVE DAYS! Haha, sorry about typing that all out in caps. It's just a crazy feeling to think about Yale. I can't explain all the feelings. Part of me gets antsy waiting, another freaked hyperventilating, and this other part calm breathing. :) I actually finished the main essays over the summer, and the past two months have been polishing them, writing the Common App’s short answer on my activities, trying to figure out how to write the “x school is good for me because…” essays. :-P The easiest one to write had to be the Yale one, even though it was <300 characters.

Not fun, not the best idea. Luckily I was originally told to send it out earlier by mail (but ended up not? weird story) and consequently had some lead time to avoid too much freak out. But yeah. : ) Aww! : )

Actually, no, I did it about a week ago, but only remembered that you might like to know that. Haha. Ohhhhhhhh, I hit ‘Submit’ on my Yale EA application!
