a day consumed by anxiety

Work is reasonably easy, and so I can by and large do it and work it as a pleasant anaesthetic, but today I have lost a whole day to worry and the obsessive checking of the internet. I applied to, in alphabetical order:
  • Berkeley
  • Chicago
  • Columbia
  • Duke
  • Harvard
  • JHU
  • Michigan
  • NYU
  • Penn
  • Rutgers
  • Stanford
  • UCLA
  • UVa
  • Washington University STL
  • Yale
As I said, I have been accepted to Duke. I haven't heard back from the other fourteen places. Last year I applied to Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, Stanford, NYU and Princeton. Obviously, that didn't go especially well. I can't keep my eyes open and I keep falling asleep on the bus, which is how my wallet was stolen last December, and I'm just sick with nerves.
