The Cafe Watering Hole: PART DEUX

<p>I agree, Canada.</p>

<p>Watching Glee and eating pretzels is good for me to forget about the world, hakuna matata and all that.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the show Community was made for me. You need to watch the episode that was on just now, as a favor to me. I can’t even describe how uncanny it is.</p>

<p>I just…it’s like they’re in my brain.</p>

<p>Canadian, just so you know, all of us up in here at the U of C are laughing hysterically at the “That’s Why I Chose Yale” video. So ridiculous.</p>

<p>It is ridiculous, and that’s precisely why I love it.</p>

<p>As Chicagoans, you’re all just jealous, though. No big deal. :)</p>

<p>I can only read the Chicago forum because it’s the only one that doesn’t make me hyperventilate. But, I did forget to do my Chicago fin aid app and send them my tax returns, so I guess my hyperventilating will never stop.</p>

<p>Ugh.</p>

<p>I sent it late last year because I didn’t have the information in time. They were cool with it.</p>

<p>And the main thing we laughed about was how happy all those pretty little Yale students were. There are clearly more important things in life than happiness.</p>

<p>I sent them an email. I did have all my stuff done, I just forgot. Oopsie. Also, I didn’t send my CSS to Pomona. Oopsie times two. Oh well. No financial aid for meee.</p>

<p>I’m going to reason that they have plenty of late fin aid apps, especially from students whose parents just give them the forms and say “Go fill it out, I guess.” Go me. Except my latenesses are more from forgetting. Ah well.</p>

<p>Srsly. I didn’t have enough information for my financial aid forms until this time last year. I’m thinking I had a problem meeting the Feb 15 deadlines. Send emails to make sure, but they should be fine with it.</p>

<p>Financial aid is actually much more lenient than it seems, in my experience…</p>

<p>And I don’t know if you were sarcastic ([Sarcasm</a> punctuation mark aims to put an end to email confusion - Telegraph](<a href=“Sarcasm punctuation mark aims to put an end to email confusion”>Sarcasm punctuation mark aims to put an end to email confusion)) about the happiness thing, but that video was definitely (and purposely) overdone. It was supposed to be that way, and that’s exactly what I like about it.</p>

<p>I’m sure you could find a number of enthusiastic musical theater nerds who love their college. Such as future me, except I’m going to UT, so I won’t love it. But.</p>

<p>I like Peyton Manning, but I also like the Saints. Go figure.</p>

<p>The thing is, most of those people weren’t musical theatre majors. :)</p>

<p>YOU ARE NOT GOING TO UT, SO STOP SAYING YOU ARE.</p>

<p>Imma slap a ho.</p>

<p>Am I the ho? And I didn’t say musical theater majors; you can be a musical theater nerd and not be a major.</p>

<p>DO NOT tell me that that video was not made, at least in part, by musical theater nerds. Also, at least it was better than the Pi Phi video. Yeah, I watched. Yeah, it was ridiculous in a bad way.</p>

<p>Silly Canadian, the joke is basically that Yale has so many chipper students that we don’t have. We probably couldn’t find enough happy people to even make a spoof video. Or if we could, they wouldn’t really be typical U of C students. And we laughed at how much they focused on non-academic things, and how they thought their dorms were awesome, since ours are so much better. I’m in a 12’ x 15’ single. So yeah. Every discussion of that video here ends with “I definitely made the right decision.”</p>

<p>And I want to meet the person who pays $2 for that punctuation mark.</p>

<p>We shouldn’t destroy Canada’s dreams. He’s already got a problem with that Vancouver no snow thing.</p>

<p>I’ve quit cynicism, don’t you know?</p>

<p>My SAT score is a disaster, but I suppose that’s to be expected, since I’ve been doing poorly at everything lately. I’ve been accepted to two out of eleven (by jove) colleges so far, but unfortunately I don’t like either of the two and am anxiously waiting for more, except they might not take me since I’ve been crappy lately. We shall see.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>I’ll have you know that Vancouver usually doesn’t have snow. Everyone’s acting like it’s a surprise, but it so isn’t.</p>

<p>Chain rule is fun, but integration is a nightmare.</p>

<p>HOLY EFFING ISH I GOT A 730 ON MATH. w t f.</p>

<p>By Jove. Harvard is still a pipe dream, but still. I daresay I’ll send that score to Stanford and Northwestern, though.</p>

<p>I miss calculus. I can hardly remember what the chain rule is, but at least I was learning. Maybe I’ll trawl through my old workbook for funsies.</p>

<p>Oh, hey. I’m sure Canada is contractually obligated to be flying to Vancouver right now, and Chicago(s) are probably under ten feet of snow right now, or something, but I’m going to tell you that Tennizzle is a National Merit finalist.</p>

<p>I love calculus.</p>

<p>GMAIL SUCKS SOMETIMES. LIKE WHEN THEY PUT THINGS IN THE SPAM BOX WHEN IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT.</p>

<p>I wonder if I should make this whole page mine. Only 12 posts left.</p>

<p>Sweetness, Tennizzle.</p>

<p>And you can’t do that now. Hah.</p>

<p>By the way, our new tags are dumb.</p>

<p>Yeah, they were added by miscreants.</p>

<p>I love Gmail. But I never check my spam cause there are like 350 spam emails in my spam box now.</p>

<p>I got into my second choice Canadian college today, and my first choice one in Ontario. Yaaaaay.</p>
