The Cafe Watering Hole

<p>Be nice to me or no cookie.</p>

<p>But what if I’m hungry?</p>

<p>Is anyone else thinking of a hilariously awkward Dwight-Angela scene? Anyone?</p>

<p>Everyone loves Hogwarts.</p>

<p>No. Cookie.</p>

<p>[Grammar</a> Girl :: Effect Versus Affect](<a href=“http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx]Grammar”>http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx) HAH at your n00b Canadianness.</p>

<p>Stop with the cookies.</p>

<p>I just looked at the Chicago EA results thread. I don’t know how I got accepted. I’m not going to waste my time posting stats there, but there were people deferred and rejected with stats way better than mine.</p>

<p>People with way better everything than me got rejected at Stanford, but somehow I got deferred. No one knows what the hell admissions officers do to decide.</p>

<p>I need food.</p>

<p>We all get lucky sometimes, JB.</p>

<p>I will never stop with the cookie.</p>

<p>Do I remind you of cookies? </p>

<p>Eurgh is my new favorite expression, in case you didn’t notice.</p>

<p>I think I may apply to Chicago.</p>

<p>I feel advantaged because I’m Canadian. Most people here don’t even apply to colleges in the States, and I would assume they put Canadians/internationals in general into their own admission pools. And when compared to other Canadians, I think I do relatively well. American Students are tougher, though. Sad truth.</p>

<p>I like fire escapes and Jewish childrens’ books.</p>

<p>I also like Mariah Carey.</p>

<p>Jewish childrens’ books are kind of [url=<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Bagels-Benny-Aubrey-Davis/dp/1553374177]lame[/url”>http://www.amazon.com/Bagels-Benny-Aubrey-Davis/dp/1553374177]lame[/url</a>].</p>

<p>I’m not going to get in anywhere because I have no motivation to do anything at all.</p>

<p>I hope I do not remind you of fire escapes and Jewish children’s books. Unless that’s a good thing, I suppose.</p>

<p>I’m sure you’re competitive in any applicant pool, Canadian or not. How many trilingual, high SAT-scoring, high GPA, involved high school students are there?</p>

<p>There’s only one. And I kind of like him.</p>

<p>Mike/Snoop, I know two half-Asians. They’re brothers. One of them is really short with small hands.</p>

<p>Haha. American students are tougher? You should spend some time in my town, and then see if you have the same opinion.</p>

<p>I want to go to Chicago sooooooooooooo bad. But the preliminary financial aid isn’t looking good.</p>

<p>I’ve accepted the fact that I’m probably not getting any aid. Unless I get into Stanford, Yale, or Princeton, that is.</p>

<p>I don’t think I can justify $80,000 extra just to go to a name-brand school. And I do have to pay for college entirely by myself.</p>

<p>Sacred bovine, I was on here after 01:00 last night. I wasn’t tired then, and I’m not tired now. But I did spike my coffee with a caffeine shot. Those things are awesome. They’re these little packets like coffee creamer, except they’re basically all caffeine. They don’t really change the taste of the coffee, but they give it more kick.</p>

<p>My Princeton app will go in the mail this afternoon after I’m off work. I’m just waiting on one teacher rec via email, though I do have a fudged copy on my computer if I get desperate. It will be nothing short of a miracle if someone with my stats is admitted to Princeton. I’m surprised I even got into Chicago with a 2110 SAT. Though I guess my ACT was 33, which put me toward the upper end of the ACT range. My Subject Tests will be what kills me.</p>

<p>Sigh. The good news is that there is still time to apply to a whole host of safety schools.</p>

<p>I am tired.</p>

<p>I’ll write for Conan first, then work my way up. How about that?</p>
