| WOOOO!
I just had lunch with a Rice student today.
Sigh, if only it could the first of many lunches with her - on campus, as a student.
Oy. | |

| Wow, you know, two weeks is really soon, but it feels like an eternity. I can't imagine what I'll do if I get waitlisted... | |

| The anticipation is killing me, and if I don't get a letter or email on the fifteenth, I will be highly upset. | |

| Natb, I don't think they waitlist ED. I think if you don't get accepted, you will most likely be deferred. I heard they only reject a few people in the ED stage.
The wait is killing me, too. While my little brother gets excited about xmas, I'm thinking "Who cares about xmas, I hear from Rice on the 15th!!!" | |

| A fair number of people are rejected, rather than deferred, ED. | |

| I'm not trying to kill the mood; I'm trying to tell you that you shouldn't feel awful if you're rejected, because it's not as unusual as you might think. | |

| Getting into Rice would be the ultimate Christmas/Hanukkah/Ramadan/Kwanzaa present fused into one huge blessing from whatever version of God you believe or don't believe in. | |

| Well actually it's more like Eid. Ramadan = the Muslim holy month... they fast for 30 days and party it up on the last day, buy each other new clothes/presents and feast like kings. Having Muslim friends is cool when they invite you to Eid parties  | |

| Yeah, I just said that because Ramadan is in the fall (September/October). So throwing it in there w/ Christmas doesn't exactly make sense. :P Hehe.
Eid ul-Fitr follows Ramadan. Eid al-Adha is the one in December. (Actually, I might have gotten them backwards...) | |

| Yep you're right Eid ul-Fitr is the one after Ramadan. I mentioned it in there because they're all "end of the year" holidays, and I consider Sept. to be end of the year (or at least by then I'm already looking forward to it!)
Good luck to everyone, hopefully we'll get a chance to be the Rice class of '12!! | |
