<p>lo siento, pero soy un poco tarde… pero ME ECCANTA “MULAN”!!! it’s one of my all time favs :slight_smile: and your version is quite hilarious</p>

<p>it was raining when visited and i wasnt allowed to see the dorms, but I loved the library with the sweet architecture and rare books</p>

2743

<p>Yes! I loved the rare books building. I really wanted to go inside to see the glass column out of which all the oxygen can be sucked in case of a fire, but it was closed when we got there :(</p>

2744

<p>Durr I was in front of the Beineke library <em>and</em> Sterling and didn’t go in. Stupid me. </p>

<p>Really wish I had walked around more and actually found the right admissions office instead of the visitor center.</p>

<p>I totally do not deserve to be applying EA. . . lol</p>

2745

<p>

you have a french convo class? JEALUOS!! and lol thats awesome. we tend to say super cool more because it just sounds so ridiculous. I mean, theyre completely english words but they sound so french. and for french club, we made shirts that say “je suis cool” in huge letters on the front. they’re hot ;)</p>

2746

<p>so, as this french convo was going down, CC gave me an advert for Rosetta Stone. It must know I took Japanese in HS</p>

2747

<p>@ Stupefy:
Yeah, it’s an awesome class. we would say super cool but our teacher is crazy french and has a thing against english words in french… but I want a shirt that says je suis cool! i should stencil one… :D</p>

2748

<p>Ay- Me entristece que me haya perdido esta conversacion en espanol. Me encanta el espanol. :(</p>

<p>I’ll stop now so I don’t get kicked off of CC. </p>

<p>In 52 minutes, there will be 7 days left!!!</p>

2749

<p>I liked the pretty buildings.</p>

2750

<p>ohh man it’s been 6 months since I last uttered a word of french. reading all those pages makes me realize how much of my french has escaped my brain since then :/</p>

2751

<p>Ahh!!! So excited!</p>

<p>I hope that I can find out my decision at 5:00! I can’t imagine waiting til seven for the system to clear up.</p>

2752

<p>two things.

  1. i loved everything about yale. i loved that there was a student sleeping in trumbull’s courtyard during our tour. i loved the food. i loved the fabulous psych professor i got to see. i loved that my student interviewer was very cute. i loved that i could park for free. i lovedthat the campus wasn’t large enough to the point that bikes are necessary (i firmly believe that i forgot how to ride a bike). i loved that the students were having conversations about everything from parties to classic literature, and that sometimes those two topics occured in the same conversation. i loved being able to read yales newspaper. i loved that the trees change colour (i live in southern california. our trees are green, brown, or nonexistent). I loved that it was not warm in october (again, my thanksgiving was 89 degrees). I loved that I actually saw a deans 8 year old daughter walking with a student and talking about literature. I loved that sterling is large enough to have its own tour. But most of all, I loved feeling part of the yale community by simply being on campus, regardless of the fact that there were so many people there.</p>

<ol>
<li>I speak latin, so the last threeish pages made no sense to me :)</li>
</ol>

2753

<p>Haha oh man, even though I’ve been taking Latin for 6 years, all I can remember is Puellae sub arbore sedent or something along those lines/ Raeda in fossa manet. I suck at composition, but I can read it just fine.</p>

2754

<p>

same! did you max out your language too? I took AP french language last year, and since college board (DARN THEM) got rid of french lit because it “Wasnt bringing in enough revenue” I had nothing to take senior year</p>

2755

<p>hey guys- do we check admissions decisions on the application status page (where we can now view our sat scores, etc) or on a different site?</p>

2756

<p>yes I did…I took both parts of IB French + the AP and SAT II tests, etc etc. and after 6 months that one intense year of french ended up meaning nothing. ha.
…
At this very second our applications are most probably sitting in one of three piles in Yale’s admissions office.</p>

2757

<p>It freaks me out to think that a decision has already been made. Gaahhhh! Think I’m going crazy. Checking my Eli account, looking up pics of bulldogs (rofl), searching for Yale fonts…Yup. I’m going insane. Haha.</p>

2758

<p>^Scary thought! AHHH.</p>

2759

<p>So what are yall’s plans for dec.15??
(This should be interesting…hahah)</p>

<p>I have NO idea what I’m doing that day but it’s smack in the middle of finals week sooo.</p>

2760

<p>ok, i’m willing to bet that i will be accepted on dec 15th. anyone wanna decide the stakes for me?</p>
