waldosia
n. [Brit. wallesia] a condition characterized by scanning faces in a crowd looking for a specific person who would have no reason to be there, which is your brain’s way of checking to see whether they’re still in your life, subconsciously patting its emotional pockets before it leaves for the day.

I suppose quietly sneaking out of the official Merton College admissions group on Facebook is sort of a 21st century walk of shame. At least I’ve got Imperial.

I’d love to live out the two versions of my life spanning from whether I get an interview at Ox or not. This time next week I’ll hopefully be in one of those versions of my life – and not the third version I’ve been living in for the last week or so, where I’m in some sort of cruel limbo waiting to find out whether I get invited.
