Nervous Times
Eli 17.4 finds out if he got accepted into Princeton at 7 PM EST tomorrow.I was feeling pretty good about his chances, and then one of his friends didn't get into Stanford. That doesn't sound like anything, but this kid had a 1590 SAT, perfect grades, and five 5's on AP tests. And didn't get in! I think Eli is a very strong applicant, but man, it's a numbers game. Some kids like him are definitely going to get in, but that doesn't mean he's going to be one of them.
Anyway, it's going to be a long day tomorrow.
I appreciate the suggestions everyone sent in about his fatigue. His blood work checked out within range, and there's no operative theory now except a virus (a long one). I think it's also possible that his daily schedule (which is unbelievably packed) may just have worn him down once hockey started. He starts holiday break next Friday, and hopefully a couple of weeks of sleeping in will take care of it.
He's also experimenting with his warmup, trying to raise his body temperature and pulse rate a bit higher than he was previously. No data on whether that's helping yet.
