Mixed Feelings
I don't know who's more anxious: me or my mom. She calls from Asia almost everyday.
Mom: "Any news yet?"
Me: "No."
Next day...
Mom: "Any news yet?"
Me: "No."
Or perhaps she just wants to see how high she can rack up her company's long-distance phone bill $$.
Boss: "[] Tai Tai (Mrs. [])! What is this American number you keep calling??"
Mom: "It's err... a very important client of mine, sir?..."
Back in the USA, it's been raining on the western front. I am hoping the Bay Area clouds will blow away as my college friend flies in from the east.
Then, my upcoming itinerary is as follows:
~ Flight to Asia ~
Mar. 20: Kellogg D-day *gulp*
Mar. 21: Cornell D-day *ahh*
Mar. 22: Chicago D-day *prays*
Mar. 24: UCLA delivers the official "ding" letter *cries*
~ Return to the USA ~
Mar. 30: Stanford D-day *help me*
Mar. 31: Yale D-day *sweat*
Apr. 3: MIT D-day *faints*

i predicting stanford for you all the way...though i am writing from sloan territory. ucla obviously dropped to ball on this one - in every other situation you seem completely magnetic to admissions committees.
kellogg d-day could really be any day, right? very tense.
good luck
Ok, though you didn't apply to Wharton I'm sure they wouldn't mind it if you replaced each one of those *xyz* emoticons with *fuck yeah*.
You know it - it'll be raining bings (I just invented it - bing, you know the opposite of ding). So it's gonna be bing, bing, bing, ..., bing all the way into april :-)
That's so funny about your mom - mine sends me "So, just wanted to see what's going on...." emails - every day!
Sounds like you have some fun plans ahead of you! And I don't think you have too much to worry about in the "ding" department. =o)
for me, its me calling my folks every two days to tell them that there's no news,yet.....
have fun at the Bund....any plans of venturing a tad southwards after the Bund is over ?
say hello to your mom and ask her if she is related to my mum in someway.....who sends me 1 sms a day wondering if the results are in, even after I have told her that the D day is far away ! :D
cheers

Do we have the same mom? Fortunately I got a decision early in December but I know the anxious feeling! I like your checklist of things to do (I love making checklists) but if it rains this weekend, it may not be worth it to wake up at 5AM to go ballooning. You can't go wrong with milk tea and I'm sure you'll have a blast in the city.
Since they have internet everywhere in Asia, I'm sure you'll hear great news while sightseeing. How cool would it be if you were on the Great Wall of China and received an admit phone call!
Since my wait is officially over, I'm anxious to hear your results. I'm sure you'll get into all of them!
