Friday, 7am: Waking up in the morning.
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs.
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal.

Yesterday was Thursday. Today is Friday. We so excited. Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards.

Philosophically ground breaking.

I visited last Sunday, but didn't go in anywhere. Just walked around. It's a really cool little town - the building is sooo small though, and there are all these Drexel kids frolicking around. People were really nice about telling me what to see.

I hate that girl. If I was sleeping next to a girl who got up at 7:00 AM, and then broke out into a song about everything she's going to do, I'd kick her out and take a cold shower.

I didn't post this yesterday because it was really specific to my situation as an "alternate" and I didn't think it would help anyone else. But I got a couple PMs about it so:

I got an email back in response to my "I'm still interested in the levy" email with my other offers. And they said that they don't have an official matching policy but have added the information to my file. They will also be mindful of my deadlines and "be in touch soon"

Not sure what that means for others who haven't heard yet about named scholarships- guess we have to keep waiting?

AZN - thanks so much for calling them yesterday!

From one or two posts yesterday, I got the impression that you'll be alerted by email to the fact that a financial aid decision has been made, even if it's zero. Is that right? That would be great, so you know when to start negotiating.

Yeah even if you get nothing (which won't happen :) ), you'll get an email with your loan package.

Sweeeet. (And thanks for the irrationally optimistic prediction!)

According to the other Penn thread, they sent a bunch of WL and dings today. Don't think it's the same people sending the emails as fin aid, but I'm trying to convince myself that this is the reason we haven't heard.
