I had a dream last night that we are called in one room and asked to complete a task. Fuzzy on details but I think it was some kind of WBS.

The coordinator kept on letting me take a peek at her note pad. My name was written on several places on the pad with red ink and pencil. I kept on thinking that maybe this is just to mess with my mind and I'm already in.

Nonetheless, I finished the WBS. But when I was ready to hand it in, I lost the paper.

and then I woke up!!! I went for my blackberry to check my mail. There was this email from some Carol. My heart dropped! Could it be. But it wasn't. It was a spam mail. (Cruel Cruel Cruel)

It is like you had sex with some random girl after a wild night of partying. You didn't use condom and now you're waiting for your blood work to find out if you have HIV or not!

Wow dude, you got dark pretty quickly! Cheer up. I'd imagine, not getting into INSEAD is nothing compared to being told you are HIV+. There is still a lot to look forward to in life, even if INSEAD doesn't work out, inshallah!

Also, @shashank1980: from the past threads it looks like that if you get the email before the call, then that's a ding! So I wouldn't be checking my email at all until Saturday. :)

I was actually joking when I wrote that and it was just an analogy. And it's not about the HIV but the anxiety about finding out the result. Alhamdulillah all is well :-)!

Do they email or phone us? I think I prefer email. I hate serious phone calls! If it's faster to be notified by phone then I'd prefer that though :)

Well, they won't call you for a ding.
Meaning if they do call it's good news. If they don't you have to open your email and read... I think it's more stressfull
