<p>I ride the L trains pretty much every weekend. I’ve only had deep dish pizza once, and I don’t really care to have it again unless it’s free. As for Oprah tapings, no. But someone in my dorm who’s from Chicago says that he saw her on the street.</p>
<p>I think I’ve moved home. I absolutely love Hyde Park. Well, I technically live in Woodlawn, but the university doesn’t like to advertise Woodlawn.</p>
<p>You crazy kid.</p>
<p>I got an iPhone today! It’s so shiny! I’m done with exclamation points now.</p>
<p>So… is this the designated spam area? I’m new here.</p>
<p>₮</p>
<p>No spam go away. </p>
<p>I just applied to UTK. And now I’m watching Casino Night. Good with bad.</p>
<p>Also, I love my iPhone sooo muchhh, but the Android commericials are SO COOL.</p>
<p>today i waited 1 and half hours in a line to see my chem professor. but it was worth it. i got 6 points added on an exam! (:</p>
<p>i also recently discovered mylifeisaverage.com and hatepost.com. MLIA wins.</p>
<p>Good God. Five days with no posts?</p>
<p>I had the hugest nerdgasm ever in the library yesterday.</p>
<p>No. No conflating words with orgasm. No. Gross. No.</p>
<p>my roommate thinks it’s christmas</p>
<p>I’ve gotten back into musicals.</p>
<p>Think on that.</p>
<p>My parents just told me that they wouldn’t have minded if I had applied ED to Columbia. ■■■.</p>
<p>I just added NYU and Macalester and Pomona to my list. Why? BECAUSE I CAN. And because I want three more little envelopes in my mailbox come April, it seems.</p>
<p>4th in a row - Fun story, my guidance counselor accidentally showed me the transcript that gets sent to colleges, and all my ACT scores were on there, including the ■■■■■■ writing score I got last October. And I told her to take it off, but she said it was too late. But the Common App says the forms weren’t submitted until yesterday, so maybe she was talking about the forms she sent to UTK. So I’m freaking out right now. My UTK app status said they received everything two days ago, plus the ACT score they’re showing is superscored, so I’m holding out hope that I won’t have to frantically call the other 8 schools (because I don’t care if UTK got my ■■■■■■ writing score. I can just send them my new one too.) And I only sent an official score report (of a good test) to Scripps and UTK, so I’m hoping that Scripps and the others will just disregard the ones on my transcript, since I thought they had to get an official report for it to count. </p>
<p>FREAKING OUT.</p>
<p>Cinco:</p>
<p>Aaaand Scripps is in. Wish me luck?</p>
<p>Dude. Chill out. They look at your best scores. And some schools don’t care as much about the writing score as they lead you to believe.</p>
<p>I’m on CC, why would I calm down?</p>
<p>My ‘Why Scripps’ short answer was both contrived and slapdash. So. Go me?</p>
<p>Last Wednesday, I submitted my Yale EA application. After a solid 3 months of work. December 15. Fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Now that I have more free time, I will resume posting in this here watering hole.</p>
<p>I took Math II in October and essentially bombed it. No idea what happened. But thankfully only one of my schools requires three subject tests, so no big deal.</p>
<p>Did you apply early anywhere Snoop?</p>
<p>Nope. Just the scholarship deadlines for UT and Scripps. My mom said something about not minding if I had applied to Columbia ED, but after I got over the shock I realized I wouldn’t want to deal with a potential rejection that early. So. Reading the Columbia forum just depresses me further, but I do think I have a fighting chance with Scripps, at least if they ignore my ‘Why Scripps’ short answer. And I added a couple more schools for a total of 9. I’m getting marginally more morose everyday. </p>
<p>I never got to read your Common App essay, infidel.</p>
<p>I’m hesitant to let anyone read either it or my supplement essay now that both have been released into the wild. If you’re really curious, though, I can send them to you. :)</p>
<p>You’ll be fiiiine. Srsly. All the years on CC will pay off.</p>
<p>Eh. I’m not very good at selling myself on paper. But I won’t be one of those annoying people who insist on being self-deprecating to the point of nuisance.</p>
<p>Yak and Yale. Yake? That’ll do, I suppose.</p>
<p>Yake’s good. Assuming I get in.</p>
