Okay, so I'm a little early, but I felt the need for some poetic therapy, nonetheless.

As I'm posting this, I also see past SDNers have posted similar poems, but I'm posting mine anyways! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

‘Twas the night before D-Day.
I sat alone in my house,
With my hand hovering over the computer mouse.
I’d been refreshing for three hours, but I didn’t care,
Because I knew midnight would soon be here.

All of my friends are surely in bed,
With nightmares of finals running through their heads.
But finals are the furthest thing from my mind,
As I refreshed and refreshed, hoping an “Accepted” would be what I’d find.

The mailman is sick, with this I can’t cope!
I lost my phone charger, so AADSAS is my only hope!!
Refreshing and refreshing, awaiting a change,
When, I finally noticed something strange.

“Check back on Dec. 1st?” was what I was reading!
Surely this has to have some other meaning!!
Could this be like the blanks of last year?
Oh, I wish midnight were already here!

It’s been three months since my last interview.
For the decisions, I’ve been waiting. If you only knew!
The uncertainty is unbearable.
This anticipation is incomparable.

To think in mere minutes the wait could end,
Makes my weary mind bend.
Years of hard work have led to this night,
And the possibilities set me affright!

And here it is, already 12:01!
And the status updates? NONE!
Don’t these Adcoms know how I’m feeling?
For how long my head has been reeling?!

All of these emotions have worn me out!
My friends don’t know what all the fuss is about.
It’s only the most important day of my life, I reason.
An acceptance would perfect this holiday season!

But 5 minutes later, no update yet.
Oh, I give up! I’M GOING TO BED!!

Wonderful!

Lol. I'm not expecting any acceptances as I haven't had any interviews yet, but I can definitely imagine the anxiety you guys must be feeling! Good Luck!
 
Like! ...if this were Facebook...
