Lildot... I know. I know!

You'd think an MIT acceptance would make the wait any easier... IT DOESN'T!!

Anyone up for a rousing game of "Talk about something vaguely related"?

I'll start: "Winston Churchill was more convincing than Justin Bieber when it comes to urging people to persevere."

That's kind of a depressing statement of probability.
So a massive earthquake is likely to hit the bay area in the next couple years. Is living on a fault a good idea?

I've heard this said before, and will repeat it: there is no single location in the world that is immune to a natural disaster, especially in the States. On the East Coast you have hurricanes, blizzards, etc. Midwest you have tornadoes. West Coast you have earthquakes. That's only the US too.

On a side note, the city that I live in in California actually sits about a block away from the San Andreas fault, so I'm already in prime danger.


Anyway, I have friends telling me not to count down, but it's something that I can't seem to force myself to stop doing. You guys (and girls lol) have a full week ahead? My week is pretty empty right now, so it'll be pretty hard to keep my mind off of the situation.

Hurricane rarely get as far north as the Carolinas, and blizzards rarely far into Virginia.

However my point is that in relation to the Japanese and other Earthquakes, the Pacific plate is disturbed, so the chances of a bad earthquake is worse.

How can you countdown, though, when you don't know what to?

It is almost certain that the decisions will be posted this Friday! I remember back in REA, a lot of people found us very premature in making a similar claim, but alas it came to be.

Any idea as to what time will decisions will be released on Friday? (I'd have to do the time adjustments that's why)
