I'm loving the relief of knowing that I can go to college. (UChicago's around my second choice now, and this is pre-visit, so a combination of a visit and RD results and financial aid will have the final say I suppose.)
However, I can't help but feel a slight pang -- after all, I've just ruined my plan of becoming a hermit, living under a bridge, and writing/selling college essays for a living after not getting in anywhere. XD
The visit is really cool...I did a tour last Thanksgiving, and it was then that I realized I would have to apply to the school. It wasn't until I looked at a lot more stats, etc. online that I realized that I probably (hopefully!) belonged at UChicago.
Where are you from in Mass, elenduiel?? I'm a fellow New Englander. XD
I realized I probably belonged at Chicago when they sent me the postcards with everything from the batsignal to the "match the astronomer to his telescope namesake" game. XD
I'm in Webster, but I go to school in Worcester.
Where are you? Did you get hit by the big storm?
I'm in suburban southern Maine--a town just outside Portland, if you know Maine at all. We lost power early morning on Friday and got it back at 5 pm on Saturday, so yeah, we got a ton of ice.
Supposed to snow again tonight, although here on the coast we'll only get like 3 inches, and they'll probably still send us to school.
Yeah, we're supposed to be getting a mix of snow and sleet tonight into tomorrow here. I'm hoping for no school, since tomorrow's our last day before break anyway (and I have two tests that I'd rather not take since I can't focus on anything anymore, haha).
