Gurlshoot...No hard feelings or anything, but I don't think I'm quite ready for this step in our relationship yet. Let's just be friends? (It's not me, it's you.)

According to the be-all-end-all of the geographic realm (MapQuest), the hut in which I currently reside is located 2.25 hours from Aston. Fall right smack dab in the center of PA, and head south. If you've hit any sort of liberal views, diversity, quality education, or Maryland, you've gone too far. Though, to be honest, it might not be worth it to turn around.

That's not what you were saying last night...*Cough* Just kidding, ofcourse :P While the relationship roleplay has been vastly entertaining, I think we should skip the semantics and get down to business!

*Has faint nostalgia of visiting Chicago in which her taxi driver was wearing a fedora and played "Taking Care of Business" as they drove into the city." ~_~

Anywho..I stay away from Maryland..except when I have a hankering for crabs xD

I know, Neo! I'm sooo nervous....dreading...anticipation..anxiety..frust ration...procrastination..Anywho, back to writing my essay @_@

Sighhh I'm done with my Optional and Why Chicago? essay. I'm so out of it for the creative one. I'm thinking about just doing Option 5

I HEART CHICAGO. Best school in the world. No joke. Cannot wait to submit my application!

Kiwi....let me serenade you with my ballad of hope..

DON'T STOP....BELIEVING!



Don't sweat it. Then again, I'm a hypocrit, because I had a huge mental breakdown over my conundrum with my essay which has yet to materialize as the figurative clock of doom counts down the impending deadline...oh woe is me..

Anywho.....My advice..which is really just borrowed advice from those who are superior to me in wisdom, is to stack up on pints of icecream. I have Cookie dough literally with my name on it thanks to my handy dandy label maker..I also have made a vow of silence, in which, if I do not get accepted to UofC, I will be silent, brooding and quote-un-quote "Emo" for the rest of the schoolyear.

Wow..That was some pretty bad advice looking back on it O_O Listen to what I tell you...and then do the opposite ^-^

Going in for an interview in two weeks!

Leave boston at 6, get into chicago at 8.

Ideally: sit in on a class, tour, info session, 2:45 interview, walk around campus, get off the south side by sunset at 5:45, plane leaves at 9.

busy day!

I have resorted to superstition. I am wearing my UChicago t-shirt every night until December 15th for good luck.
