Its haaaaaard being the mom! We want to encourage you and instill confidence, yet let you know you have our unconditional love regardless of the outcome.
We have ancient wisdom that tells us that our progeny is without a doubt the best thing that ever happened to planet earth, yet deal with the sea cucumber mentality.
While lurking on SDN we have to see and hear how hard you are on yourselves and each other-all the time knowing that your generation is the saving grace of ours.
That said, get your ass in gear, Scienceriot, and get the Johns Hopkins secondary in! They invited you for a secondary for goodness sake! You think you know more than the adcom? Who died and put you on the admissions committee for Johns Hopkins? And then read the interview feedback for them-prepare, and get ready...I know you're going to be asked for an interview!!!!
oh, i just love it! Ma! you are fabulous, and scienceriot....too cute!
Silver....mommies are cute, even when they're crazy
i'd like to quote my mom's inspiration to me:
2nd semester sophomore year....chopsuey is dying while taking orgo, physics, neurobio, calc II and an upper level french:
chops: mom, i'm so stressed out! I don't want to do this anymore!!. ...what would you do if i just dropped out of school right now???
momz: (laughing) well, suey, in india, when girls don't want to go to school anymore, they get married....we could do that!
chops: mom, who would want to marry me if i drop out of school and don't do anything with my life?
momz: someone lazy, just like you!
OUCH! but i almost fell over laughing!
how's that for inspiration?
anyway, where's spidey...i'm surprised he's not dying at the idea of meeting an actual mom since he's crazy about silver's!!!
this thread just made me smile....yay for great venting thread that actually make people feel so much better!
