<p>Avast me hearties, the thread killer returns, run for ye lives! (cookie anyone? :D)</p>
<p>fuzzy, I have a random query which I think I asked you before- was your Harvard interview in Hyderabad?</p>
<p>Oh yes, the Namesake’s worth a watch. Mira Nair’s directed it with grace and elegance. :)</p>
<p>post 888. Now that is special!</p>
<p>March is miserable, but April is the cruellest month. 
(Why, no, I can’t resist the urge to sprinkle my posts with Eliot references. Nyeh.) </p>
<p>And yes, we need that thread. (Well, we don’t need it, you know what I mean. But it would be as fun to write as 'twould be helpful for other people in an indirect and slightly snarky way.)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>can’t wait! 
</p>
<p>Let’s use the 101 title though, got a nice ring to it.</p>
<p>Going back conversations with ignorant people :-</p>
<p>“Where are you going to uni?”</p>
<p>“Oh I’m most likely to be heading to Michigan”</p>
<p>“Why the hell would you want to go to Michigan?”</p>
<p>“It’s a good school…”</p>
<p>“It’s in the middle of nowhere. You’ll not have any fun at all”</p>
<p>“Actually its got 40,000 students, I’m bound to have atleast some fun”</p>
<p>“Anyway, the drinking age in America is 21. You wont beable to have anything.”</p>
<p>“Actually there’s a fair bit of partying”</p>
<p>“Yeah well I’d rather go to a better universtiy…liek an Ivy. How come you didn’t go to MIT?”</p>
<p>“Umm…I wouldn’t stand a chance in hell and MIT isn’t Ivy.”</p>
<p>" Whatever, Michigan sucks"</p>
<p>Hmmmm real mature.</p>

<p>Dear FedEx,</p>
<p>Do you have any acceptance package for me?</p>
<p>Option 1. </p>
<p>Why yes we do.</p>
<p>You do?! Then stop buggering about and hand me the freaking package!</p>
<p>Option 2.</p>
<p>You don’t?!
:-(</p>
<p>Dear DHL…</p>
<p>Yes, let’s. (Use the 101 title, that is.) And snark is always, always good. </p>
<p>inshallah – mature indeed, and Mich is a good school no matter what that person thinks. ;)</p>
<p>taemi – don’t call, really. You’ll just worry yourself further. (To give you an example, if I’d called for my Caltech package just after decision day, I would have been sorely disappointed, as the tag on it said that it was only mailed on the 21st – by which date I’d have given up hope. Relax.)</p>
<p>@ taemi, have a look at the Princeton forum, we’re all deciding whether to call UPS or not (great minds…?)</p>
<p>haha… congrats on your 50th post.</p>

</p>
<p>LOL :)</p>
<p>bas, I said it would be a nice thing to have safeties. I didn’t say I had any. :p</p>
<p>And MIT still hates everyone. Or at least most people. (Present company excepted, I suppose.)</p>
<p>most people indeed! (yes, I’ve reconciled myself to that, no I really have!)</p>
<p>I just can’t help wondering how many of us rejects would have been in if we were US citizens, but I suppose it’s pointless really. <a href=“Er,%20a%20lot%20of%20my%20friends%20insist%20that%20I%20would’ve%20made%20it%20as%20a%20domestic%20student.%20Which%20is%20sweet%20and%20all,%20but%20not%20exactly%20%5Bi%5Dhelpful%5B/i%5D,%20y’know?”>size=1</a>[/size]</p>
