<p>Do you feel safe?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Are you in constant fear of being bitten?</p>

<p>Oh, of course.</p>

<p>By who?</p>

<p>Boys with names that are hard to pronounce.</p>

<p>Is she his half-sister?</p>

<p>She? Ew.</p>

<p>Do you like milk?</p>

<p>You know, not really. I like it on my cereal, and with really exquisite homemade cookies sometimes, but normally…no.</p>

<p>Skim milk or homo milk?</p>

<p>Haha, SKIM. Shut up.</p>

<p>Can you read minds?</p>

<p>Nooo. And I don’t want to.</p>

<p>Is that silly because minds aren’t books?</p>

<p>Hehe, yes.</p>

<p>Does George Bush bite people?</p>

<p>Oh George Bush…in a way, he does.</p>

<p>Are you sure?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Does Franz Kafka bite people?</p>

<p>HAHA. Oh, don’t talk Kafka with meee.</p>

<p>Should he be discarded?</p>

<p>Along with the rest of them? Prossibly.</p>

<p>Are you a technodork?</p>

<p>No, I aspire to be, though. I want to be really good at “hooking things up” at some point. So I don’t have to rely on the savvy’ness of others.</p>

<p>What does that even mean?</p>

<p>Ehm. Technodork = really talented with complicated technological stuffs.</p>

<p>Will you say goodbye?</p>

<p>I will, because I should’ve started cleaning long ago. Sigh.</p>

1242

<p>I’m short (63 inches… sigh), and clumsy. Hmm.
I don’t really look as if I’m clumsy- it’s not as if I flop all over the place- but I am.</p>

<p>Is it strange that I wrote “63 inches?”</p>

1243

<p>Is it strange that I wrote “63 inches?”</p>

<p>A little strange. But 60 inches is an easy reference, so no big.</p>

<p>I was 63 inches tall when I was about 10 years old. </p>

<p>I lived a hard-knock life, I know.</p>

1244

<p>I was also 63 inches in 5th grade. </p>

<p>Why do people like tallness?</p>

1245

<p>Why do people like tallness?</p>

<p>Because tallness = power, dominance, success, attractiveness…</p>

<p>Okay, so those are all subjective, but I don’t know…in the US, at least, I believe its just more respectable to be tall. If I were a short curly-haired girl with a high voice, I would probably fail. A lot.</p>

<p>I would be a joke, actually. Oh no…but I guess people like tallness because its synonymous with respect, commonly.</p>

1246

<p>where should i go for college?</p>

<p>where is rocker going to college?</p>

<p>is rocker going to go to the same college as you?</p>

<p>should i go to states for college or just stay in canada for university?</p>

1247

<p>where should i go for college?</p>

<p>Hah-vahd.</p>

<p>where is rocker going to college?</p>

<p>He’s going to be a Yalie.</p>

<p>is rocker going to go to the same college as you?</p>

<p>No, but I wish I could go to the same school as him. Not just for him though, don’t get excited.</p>

<p>should i go to states for college or just stay in canada for university?</p>

<p>Come to the US (:</p>

1248

<p>What is your opinion of Harvard? Yale? Jello?</p>

<p>If you had to live in a foreign country (that doesn’t speak English) for a year, what country would you live in?</p>

1249

<p>do you speak any other languages?</p>

<p>is “hah-vahd” what i think it is?</p>

<p>do you really think i would fit into those schools?</p>

<p>do you think i even have a chance of getting in?</p>

<p>is rocker already accepted to yale?</p>

<p>which year is he?</p>

<p>so you like yale?</p>

<p>why didn’t you apply?</p>

<p>how much did you application fees end up costing in total?</p>

1250

<p>**What is your opinion of Harvard? **</p>

<p>Prestigious.</p>

<p>**Yale? **</p>

<p>Okay, my main association with Yale is that the most perfect man I have ever met goes there. He’s…oh. He’s a junior now, and I met him when I was like, 16.</p>

<p>Anyway, irrelevant information. But my opinion is that Yale is prestigious, too, except I know that they have more attractive males because of that one who attends.</p>

<p>Jello?</p>

<p>Pig/horse hooves.</p>

<p>If you had to live in a foreign country (that doesn’t speak English) for a year, what country would you live in?</p>

<p>Obviously France. Possibly Russia or maybe Norway.</p>

1251

<p>can you be suceesful without going to an ivy? (including stanford, MIT, cal tech etc.)</p>

1252

<p>do you speak any other languages?</p>

<p>No, but I will!</p>

<p>is “hah-vahd” what i think it is?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>do you really think i would fit into those schools?</p>

<p>I don’t know you.</p>

<p>do you think i even have a chance of getting in?</p>

<p>Sure. Just remember to be brilliant. And have a gimmick.</p>

<p>is rocker already accepted to yale?</p>

<p>I don’t think so, but I speak positively about his future attendance there because I have faith in him.</p>

<p>which year is he?</p>

<p>I believe he’s a senior in high school.</p>

<p>so you like yale?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>why didn’t you apply?</p>

<p>I would never get in. I won’t kid myself, its the truth. Why would I waste my time?</p>

<p>how much did you application fees end up costing in total?</p>

<p>Fee waivers, doll. Fee waivers. And QuestBridge. So basically all I’ve had to pay for are SAT/ACT tests/score reports and the CSS PROFILE. And its a good thing, because 11 schools x $55ish/school = $605.</p>

<p>can you be suceesful without going to an ivy? (including stanford, MIT, cal tech etc.)</p>

<p>Of course. I plan to be incredibly successful, even if I end up at a “lame” private school, or a state school. Success is you, not your college.</p>

1253

<p>fee waivers? but won’t you have less chance of getting in?</p>

<p>should i use fee waivers?</p>

<p>why are the school app fees that 'm looking for all $70+ while yours is 55?</p>

<p>don’t I hate the “H-bomb”?</p>

1254

<p>fee waivers? but won’t you have less chance of getting in?</p>

<p>LMAO. No! Hahahaha.</p>

<p>should i use fee waivers?</p>

<p>If you qualify.</p>

<p>why are the school app fees that 'm looking for all $70+ while yours is 55?</p>

<p>$55 was average, some where $35, others were $80. It varies.</p>

<p>don’t I hate the “H-bomb”?</p>

<p>Maybe?</p>

1255

<p>11 schools? Damn. I’m sorry. That must have been horrible (all of those supplements! Gah!)
I only applied to five.</p>

1256

<p>When I apply to college I think my guidance counselor is going to have a fit.</p>

<p>George or Oscar?</p>

1257

<p>Is it a bad idea to screw off all my apps?</p>

1258

<p>(Obviously George)</p>

1259

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, I feel like I was kind of smart about it…I looked at every essay prompt ahead of time, and wrote several of essays I could reuse. So I had basically three personal statements that were slightly different topics, and one of the three worked for each school. Same with short essays on diversity/my favorite EC, I reused.</p>

<p>The only annoying essays were the “Why _______?” ones, of which could obviously not be directly reused, haha. But it was a pain…everyone at my school thinks I’m crazy, because most of them either don’t apply at all or they only apply to 1-2. Eh. I needed options.</p>

<p>George or Oscar?</p>

<p>I don’t know who you’re referring to, if you had said Felix or Oscar? I would’ve said Felix, if that’s worth anything.</p>

<p>Is it a bad idea to screw off all my apps?</p>

<p>YES! Don’t do it, Sheedy.</p>

1260

<p>Bluth.</p>

<p>I reused my essays, too… even my “Why —?” ones.
I actually ended up using my “Why UChicago?” one for Brown, which is kind of strange, since the two schools are kind of polar opposites. I just replaced “UChicago” with “Brown” and “the Core” with “the New Curriculum.”</p>

<p>Haha. Poor Brown admissions officers… I illustrated my long essay and completely slacked off on the “Why Brown?” essay.</p>

<p>Yes, you heard me correctly. I illustrated it. I included pictures of toast, a trapeze artist, and a social gaffe. Whoo.</p>

<p>Will I regret half-assing my Brown application three months from now?</p>
