Woof.

We always say "Tomorrow will be the big day!" And 9 times out of 10 it never is. :(

Just got a rejection from IU..... :(

Chin up Joon! I'm sure better news is on its way... besides, Indiana isn't as awesome as most of the other states. ;) And they don't have Papa Hadyn cake.

OMG UNC II HOLY ARCEUS WHAT IS LIFE RIGHT NOW?!?

WHOOOOOOOOO ACE! :D Good to get love from your home state (I think you're a NC-er, correct?)! Can't wait to see how your II goes. It seems your honest, passionate approach to your ECs is paying off!

Don't worry, the longer it takes for us to get our first ones means we'll get a TSUNAMI wave of IIs later. :barf:

Like a few of you guys have mentioned, I'm having one of those long tiring days where things just don't seem to be clicking into place. Also, I'm starting to feel a bit anxious about the looming school year and my interviews... Normally I turn to comfort food/sugary goodness to drown my neuroticism, but I haven't eaten candy/pastries/whatever in almost 2 weeks... I'm proud of myself for that, but now what do I do?! Nothing seems to have as strong of healing powers as chocolate! Anyone have any alternative remedies for the blues?

I play computer games ... on top of eating .................................. so that really doesn't help. hahaha

Anyways, done with day 2 (and day 1) for genotyping. My whole arm hurts from so much pipetting ... Next time I'm not going to attempt to do so many at once .... lol

Usually nothing helps me escape an awful day (or week... or month...) like a fantasy book or good tv show/movie (and food, of course, but like you I have been trying to stay away from sweets and bread). What are your favorite activities? Go do those! Maybe even a scenic walk or run would help? For me, I would probably go to dance class and then spend the whole day reading or binge watching shows.

Everyone keep your head up! There's still hope left. I suggest everyone take things 1 day at a time. Live each day to the fullest because you never know when good news or bad news could happen. As for me, I'm really grateful to have received an II from UNC. I'm now enjoying myself at a concert featuring my man Wiz Khalifa!! Good luck to everyone this week and the rest of this month!!

Spend time cooking some good food, have a nice chat with my roommates and listen to soft, relaxing music. I listen to this: http://www.amazon.com/Best-Audiophi...id=1407886759&sr=8-3&keywords=best+audiophile

So it was a really good day for No Limits and @Lamel! (Srsly, how awesome is it when your first II is followed up with another II?) Congrats to all. Hope this just a small taste of what's to follow. Sending lots of good vibes out to you all – especially for all those still waiting on their first IIs.

Also: here, have the ugliest drawing known to man. If your avatar isn't in here (lol most everyone) it's because I needed to get back to work and/or I have no idea how to draw it.

If anyone is wondering, the Paper app is probably one of the best procrastination outlets ever. I try to take 10 min breaks throughout the day to loosen up and aimlessly doodle. It keeps me from getting the awful "ow-I-pipetted-too-much" hand cramp.

That is a pretty kick-ass drawing! Haha all featured should frame it next to their acceptance letters. And yay another way for me to procrastinate - it's what I do best! :heckyeah:

Maybe it's Ace Khalifa's avatar?

Edit: Also, I'm trying out my own penguin avatar to see what all the fuss is about. :) Perhaps it will bring some luck - or at the very least help me with dealing with all this waiting! All right penguins, phasers at the ready... (I seriously need sleep at this point)

My avatar is actually MEGA Lucario (It's a legit game mechanic as of 6th gen X/Y). Also, that Wiz concert was so dope! Look how close I got when he disappeared off stage and reappeared in the middle of the crowd!

Awh, thanks guys!

Hahaha, I thought @Ace Khalifa was Lucario. My Pokemon-identifying skills are in need of serious brush up. After gen 1 I sort of gave up on memorizing their names.

EDIT: TOP TOP TOP

Here's a macaroni penguin – one of the most underrated penguins.
