Why do you feel left in suspense? Does a vast decision network or utility network computation on your part hinge on the value of the output you request?

Probably something like that; my life is going to be very different, for a couple of months at least, depending on which answer I get. Also, not knowing when to expect the answer causes me to spend time and mental energy wondering "Is today the day?" each time I check my email, followed by disappointment when it isn't. If I knew when to expect an answer, I wouldn't have to think about it until the time came.

The same things I've been doing for the past few years now: staying at home and killing time by playing video games and reading stuff on the Internet.

Refrain from worrying until 1 week from today.
