<p>I didn’t watch SYTYCD until last season, when I started hearing about how great the new crop of dancers was. Now I am addicted, and I’ve gotten my sister hooked as well. It’s funny, actually: I used American Idol as a way to distract myself from the slow flow of time while waiting for last school year to end, and now a season of SYTYCD has magically appeared in the perfect place to lead up to Stanford decisions. Same thing with Glee, really.</p>
<p>Wow, I need to do something about this “isn’t-everything-in-life-great?” mood… It feels so antithetical to the spirit of CC. :P</p>
<p>Starmie. Hahaha, so much awkwardness inherent in your post. I love it. I don’t know how I am going to respond to that. I’m glad that you’ve surpassed peoples’ expectations. For me, if I don’t get into Harvard/Stanford, I’m letting everyone down. But no one really understands how hard it is to get in. So if I do get in, they’re like “Whatever, you were basically gauranteed to get in.” And if I don’t, then it’s like “Ah, you’re good, but not good enough.”</p>
<p>As for your love interest, I hope he’s worth all of this I won’t comment on the mood swings.</p>
<p>@Canary, totally agreed. That’s the biggest downfall of any Ivy - all of them are located in areas that have temperatures below 50 degrees. And I love Psych too! So funny. And House.</p>
<p>The site’s being so slow for me right now that I don’t think the spamming method will work.
Hahahaha Nitro, I’m only getting the first half of that second cycle.</p>
<p>Eh I’m busying myself with dance videos. Makes me slightly interested in learning again
I say we make a dance crew if we’re accepted at Stanford xD</p>
<p>Haha, I know I sound completely insane right now, but on very rare occasions I get in these loopy, deliriously happy moods and I feel like telling someone about it while it lasts. Thank you all for tolerating it. :P</p>
<p>Anon, I actually have the same expectations from those at my school; I just meant that someone coming from as poor and poorly-educated family as mine has no right to be setting his sights anywhere near Stanford. As for my romantic interest… Don’t worry, he is. ;)</p>
<p>Canary, one of the reasons that I’m in such a good mood right now is actually the cold. It’s freezing right now in the Bay Area (okay, so it’s not technically below freezing, but this is the coldest we ever get) and I love it! Warm weather gets monotonous after a while. Which is why I want to stay within public-transport distance of foggy San Francisco. :)</p>
<p>Nitro, I think you’re right. Which is funny, because I haven’t really experienced the “I-think-I’m-getting-accepted” side yet.</p>
<p>im defenatly getting both in pretty much a concentric sin-wave, cosine wave pattern</p>
<p>the cosine wave being the how much i care, peaking pi/2 before the sin-wave which peeks at the [that which must not be named] extreme. and vice versa for the “not caring but accepted”</p>
<p>haha Starmie are you just going through the how-much-i-care cycle?</p>
I won’t comment on the mood swings.</p>
