I saw this and laughed. I thought I was having a hard time dealing with the wait XD. It's still Thursday and you've already made yet another "Is it Monday yet? " post.
But really, I'm not doing much better, I'm having issues concentrating on my schoolwork and this is really a bad time for that since we're hitting first quarter. I just gotta last a little over three more days....
I knew you'd empathize! Glad I made you laugh. :D It's completely ridiculous how impatient I'm getting. I really can't remember the last time I had this much trouble waiting for something to air.
I think it's because this episode has the potential to be one of my all-time favorites. Of course, I'm also worried that my expectations are too high, and I'm going to be horribly disappointed.
It really doesn't help that a plethora of promotional media for the episode just sort of exploded into the public this week.
I'm also worried that my expectations are too high, and I'm going to be horribly disappointed.
I've been worrying about that to, because I have a bad habit of always fearing the worst for something I like. It's causing me to run a bunch of "worst case scenarios" in my head. Hopefully this means I'm pleasantly surprised.

That's a smart strategy. I keep wanting to imagine what I would do with the episode if I was writing it, which is a terrible strategy for avoiding disappointment. Although I can still be pleasantly surprised by RTD being a far better writer than I am (which he is, of course).

Conversely, I do this too. I play both scenes that I would want to happen as well as worst case scenarios -_-' Usually I end up dismissing my hopes, but I can't stop thinking about them.
I'm actually a bit more optimistic than I normally would be in a situation like this though, I've heard reports from the advanced screening of the episodes were positive.

Arrgh, still not Monday yet! This is going to be the first weekend in a long time that I've wanted to go by quickly!
