What's Up?
Hey! I posted my massive masterlist on the December 31st thread. Apparantly the "Why Us"? for Yale is only 300 characters but that's my first line of business.
How many schools are you applying to? Did you apply early anywhere?
I'm in at UChicago, so I'm only applying to 6 other schools now (Cornell, MIT, Yale, Harvard, Rice, Carnegie Mellon). MIT and UChicago are my tops though.
Good luck!
Hmm how do I delete posts?
Delete this please?
also, i can't seem to edit my old posts. i don't want to spam the forums because I want to bookend every hour by editing the same post but it won't let me. o_o
to hypergreenbean re spamming the forums
The check in forums are here to help keep us focused, so in my opinion you can post anything and everything that helps keep you on track.
I was worried about that too at first, because sometimes I check in every 30 minutes or so if I'm having one of those days. I was afraid I would bore everyone to death with my mundane to do lists and various neurotic ramblings, but so far no one has complained :)
So, as far as I'm concerned you can post all you want in the check in forum. We don't have to read them if we don't want to, and if helps you out, post away!
However, you can edit your own posts - there's an edit link at the bottom - but you can't delete them.

I just got home with a pile of groceries. I'm very hungry - didn't eat lunch. First order of business is to make food. And then I have to hunt for the missing article - which probably will involve some cleaning as a side effect.

Journey 9 am
This has been a crazy week and I didn't do anything that I had planned to do! I'm ready for things to get back to normal. We have all been sick and the baby ended up in the hospital with bronchitis. He's supposed to come home today so my schedule today will depend on whether he's coming home or not. If he is well enough we will try to take care of him this afternoon so my son and d-in-law can get a few hours of sleep. They've been up for days.
Things I did accomplish, although they weren't planned:
my daughter and I got her room straightened, cleaned, and organized - her idea!
broke the caffeine habit
did all the necessary holiday ho-ho stuff
Right now I'm going to put away the rest of the Christmas wrapping stuff and sort the laundry - seems like I'm always doing laundry.
Journey
this week
I didn't accomplish everything I hoped to this week, either. I thought I might get more done in the accounting/tax department. I didn't - too many other things to do - but I have been working on my pile.
Congrats on kicking caffeine. That's a good one! :)

pro's CI - 8:55am
I was so tired when I got back yesterday that I didn't get anything done in the evening. My feet and back hurt so I just lay around and watched movies.
Today I have somewhere to be in the morning. I have to be prompt because it will rain later and I don't want to get caught in the rain.
