Take a deep breath. Relax. Get some exercise. Go out with friends. Remember there are indeed other things than being in the most prestigious of prestigious universities. Taking life TOO seriously just saps the fun straight out of it. And, of course, the point of life is to live.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
I get to find out my overall position 4 days after your news, then wait another month to see if I get into uni.
Good luck, and try playing Left4Dead. Lots of fun, takes thought away.
I would play computer games, but my computer is so old new (I still have Pentium 4) that I can't run any games newer than like sins of a solar empire half decently.

Not a good idea. Hearing information like that will only increase your anxiety. Isolate yourself and do something mindless.Just heard four hours ago from alot of friends about Early Decision for University of Pennsylvannia.

Worse comes to worst, just take NyQuil or something that will knock you out. Sleep is always one way to pass a block of time.

Now it's the weekend, though. You have an excuse.
