It's 9AM in Philli - let's get this thing rolling

Alright, the day is here. As much as I told myself it was out of my hands and whatever happens, happens, I still tossed and turned all night. But I feel good about today. I am confident in the application I put forward, I dotted every I and crossed every T. I truly gave it the very best effort. Maybe thats why I feel good about it. Part of me knows I will get this invite, and part of me keeps asking what if my best just isnt good enough. Gonna be tough to wait til 4 ish for this decision, but I intentionally saved a boat load of work for today to try to keep my mind off of this. So far, the boatload of work isnt working.

Nobody knows anything!!! WHERE ARE WE? WHO AM I? WHERE AM I FROM? WHAT DAY IS IT? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY??!?!?!?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

i am already drunk teehee.. so in case of either a ding or a interview call i am just gonna drink a lil more

well for all the wait and anxiety and handicapping over the past 3 weeks... we'll all know our fate in 5 hours... and meet the end of the world in 41 days... good luck everyone!

Props to spelling wodka the "right away"

Yeah, who needs an invitation to interview if we wont even be able to go to the school.... Hahaha... Good luck to everyone, when you do thing the right way and they don't work out, they usually happen for a reason we are to blind to see now.... Hope everybody for the best!
