Women and booze are known to work. 🙂 J/K Sorry, to say but I wasn't able to find anything. You just have to ride it out and kill time, like cruising SDN. It does get better though. After a few times waiting I got good at it. If I received a phone message during dinner from an adcom I could keep eating and do some dishes before I listened to it. Or I would go several days w/o checking my mailbox. Let us know if you figure out a good way to deal with the anxiety.
My advice...don't wait around to hear the news. TUCOM-MI didnt email me until AFTER the admissions office closed. :-( This was extremely painful since I live on the East Coast and didnt get the email until 8:15!!
Try not to think about it.

Why didn't I think of that!
j/k!It is so hard not to think about this. I am on 7 weeks since my interview and 3-4 since my August scores got in. "Coming any day." they say.
I am more full of anticipation than I am worrying about it.
Yosemite, PM me if you want to wait together or anything... I know how stressful this is!
I find that working out is great way (and proven) to relieve stress. It doesn't have to be very crazy if you aren't really into working out. I teach every fitness class under the sun, so if you want some relaxation techniques, PM me I will send you some. Not crazy Yoga just stuff to get your head cleared. I wouldn't promote drinking, but sex is an amazing workout and stress reliever.
