thatonekid Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 ^ making the number red makes me concerned. It's like "They're comming to get you in 4 days. Watch out!" type of concerned. Obviously, I'm not getting enough sleep. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 stick to happy pretty numbers like yellow blue and green. red spells trouble. like emergency. like fire. like doom. spent the day doing errands! many more to do this week, very little time online, fortunately!

*Pixie* Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 ...didn't realize that people's sensitivity to colour increases as the date approaches Alright, so many days went by and we are getting closer and closer with every moment... 3 HAPPY days and 8 hours till that sleepless night P.S. What would be the best colour to report "TOMORROW" on thursday? Maybe a variety of colours to reflect everyone's many emotions??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Pixie* Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 2 days and 10 hours Here is the dream I had last night: It was the day when the emails were supposed to come out. Friday May 13th. For some reason I was at UofC med school. I saw Dr. Walker and Adele gather people in some unfamiliar looking lecture theatre. I wanted to go in but the only people allowed were med students . So I was wondering around and all of a sudden there is this commotion around me. Next thing I know I am outside and everything resembles "The War of The Worlds" type of setting and I am running with all these people somewhere while the ground is cracking under our feet.... but I have my blackberry on me (and it is still working although the world is ending!!!) and I keep getting all kinds of emails but none of them are from med school...I look at my watch and it was already late at night. Then I woke up... with my heart in my throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justthewife Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Pixie, my husband told me he had a dream last night that he was at the MMI all over again, but that it wasn't just interviewing, it was like having to complete the entire application process again, but in only one day.

0593202 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 ughhh stomach definitely in knots. Atleast for OOP you find out regardless, with my Manitoba application, you only find out early acceptance on the 14th, otherwise you wait till June! :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrogirl Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I had a dream that they told me I was on the waiting list and that there were 5 people ahead of me, and they told me that they really wanted to accept me, so I had to find those 5 people and convince them not to go to the UofC.

Erk Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I am LE TIRED. Every day I am packing it full of stuff to do to try and distract myself from counting down the hours. Do you know how tedious this gets when every year you get the same response? siiiiiiiiiiigh happy waiting guys! almost there. I took up a labour/construction job for the last few weeks so I'm too tired to think of it. Good luck this year, Lost Lamb You are one of dozens of people on here I'd be really excited to go to school with. This crowd has made me much more keen on getting in just because of how cool everyone is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medtech Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Who will join me for a big dance party across the country blaring this song when they get in? I did it for my NOSM acceptance and it confused a lot of people:p thanks a lot pixie for this thread, I'd like to think it helps with the wait...ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

What would be the best colour to report "TOMORROW" on thursday? Maybe a variety of colours to reflect everyone's many emotions??? Thursday should be red. Even though I was the one against red in the first place, I think a red number 1 will sum up the feelings for most people here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Pixie* Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Oh my god, we are getting so close and it's getting so terrifying... and at the same time I am so excited to finally announce that we only have ONE day and 14 hours left until May 13th!!! Hopefully the colours will satisfy you guys:p I agree with Erk, there are so many people here that I want to be in the same class with. It has been so much pain and so much fun at the same time - and we all shared it! Two more sleepless nights until we finally know... Hang in there!

NewfieMike Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I just dreamed that I got an acceptance, and partied HARD with a bunch of others who got accepted. Then I woke up to discover I'm still waiting. Miserable. edit: knock on wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Pixie* Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 By the way, am I the only one who is horrified of a thought/ possibility that you could accidentally press "DECLINE" button on UCAN if you are offered admission????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, am I the only one who is horrified of a thought/ possibility that you could accidentally press "DECLINE" button on UCAN if you are offered admission????? I haven't thought about that until you brought it up! I wouldn't worry about it though, as I'm sure an immediate phone call/email by you would clear the situation up.

LostLamb Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Thank you everyone for positivity and hopes. My hope is that every gets their wish too. I wish we all could get in...alas, not possible so I am open to accepting whatever comes my way. I got a short and different haircut yesterday, went for relaxing mani/pedi today, tomorrow have a 1-day road trip planned....and then tomorrow night the overnight flash chat vigil which has become my usual way of killing time during the last 24 hours before I hear. I hope to sleep in Friday and wake up in time to only spend an hour or 2 refreshing my inbox and UCAN. anyone else going to join me in FC on Thursday? Who's in???

nightsky Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 sorry to break the positivity here...but i am so nervous and want to be prepared for both situations. of all places that i applied, i only got 2 interviews, and i only have Calgary left for a hope now. (got rejected at the other that i did the interview) can I ask what your plans are, If, God forbid, you don't get in this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(got rejected at the other that i did the interview) can I ask what your plans are, If, God forbid, you don't get in this year? I am in sort of similar position to yours: I only have Calgary, but I only applied to UofC. I am not in the greatest mood lately because I have forced myself to expect a rejection letter on Friday. So when I get it, I will know that next year I will be still in the same lab finishing up my MSc and then applying again. After MSc (hoping to graduate in december)...don't know...work I guess...[sigh} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostLamb Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 In previous years, they sent an email and then things went on from there. To secure a spot you had to give a certified cheque, etc etc. This year, it appears that the info will show up on UCAN *after lunch* MST, but I think to clarify any confusion they will still send an email. Lookin' forward to seeing you in the FC, mike! it's been a while since we've spoken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erk Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Do you do a lot of moving, heavy lifting? Just asking out of interest. I'm renovating a house over the summer, with a little bit of everything because it's a two man job. Yesterday and the day before I was shoveling gravel, today I was setting tiles. There's a fair bit of heavy lifting, more or less depending on what project we're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
