Check their emails constantly thinking that a status update email will suddenly appear even though you already checked about 5 minutes ago? I catch myself doing this all the time!! And yet every time I truley believe there is a chance that I'll get an update email.

OK, anyways, time to rant....its 5AM and I apparently wont be sleeping tonight....completely unrelated to med school or stress ....I just can never fall asleep when I know I got to wake up real early and this morning I have to wake up at 5:30...cuz in 30 minutes....

I'm going to Disneyland!!! Yeah!!! Haha.. No joke. Dont make fun of me.

Hopefully, it's a situational OCD, which will resolve after you're admitted to your first-choice school, in 3-11 months.

Have a great time at Disney. It sounds like you need the stress relief.

Man, if it takes months to get an interview I'm afraid the 6 keys I use for my e-mail password are going to wear out from over use.

That's why you check the "remember me on this computer," pal!



I check all the time, too, but haven't heard anything since Tuesday, when I got a "complete notice from VCU. Instead, I keep getting exponentially increasing amounts of pornographic spam in my Gmail.

If you use G-mail get the g-mail notifier, a little thing pops up in the bottom corner of your screen when you get an e-mail, and it changes color if you have something new in your inbox (in case you get an e-mail while you're away from your computer.)

I wish I had used Gmail for this process.

Instead, I downloaded ReloadEvery for Firefox and have it refresh my college email every one minute. Works great!

Thunderbird makes a nice noise and pops up a screen to let you know when you've got new email.

Most college e-mails have the option to forward to your gmail. FYI.
