The Magical ( and somewhat Official) Yale RD Countdown Thread

<p>My prom’s on the 29th June. And I won’t have a date, but except for those who’re going steady probably no one will. It is a lot more formal around here. First a dinner with your family and teachers, and later at about 10 pm the dance itself starts.
And I have to learn dancing first. Meh…I don’t like ballroom dancing. I feel like a bloody idiot. </p>

<p>Sorry Prateek. But at least you’re not rejected.</p>

<p>First a dinner with your family and teachers</p>

<p>…that sounds inordinately awkward…</p>

<p>I think I have bacterial meningitis.</p>

<p><em>coughs</em></p>

<p>Now we can all die together :)</p>

<p>I don’t really look forward to the dinner, especially considering the location. I just hope I’m not seated with any of my teachers.</p>

<p>Here the closest thing there is to a prom, is a “continuation party”
I mean it more like, in two parts. The first is the farewell hosted by the school…with all the teachers and all. Our juniors put up a show and give us awards and stuff…pretty formal cuz it’s more like a school function.</p>

<p>And the party itself…well…again its hosted by our juniors at night…it more like any other party in a nightclub…no teachers and parents though :p</p>

<p>is meningitis communicable? :s</p>

<p>^ Yes, usually.</p>

<p>Although it affects your meninges (which are hopefully INSIDE your body), in can be caused by bacteria infections, certain viruses, and cancer. </p>

<p>It’s a pretty general term meaning anything that causes an inflammation of that area.</p>

<p>Yes yes i know what meninges are :p</p>

<p>We shall all die on the 31st of March before 5pm EST then
:p</p>

<p>sigh…</p>

<p>good luck dbate
I wish you were my boyfriend</p>

<p>But I don’t wanna die before finding out where I got in. :(</p>

<p>Or if I get rejected everywhere, maybe I do.</p>

<p>Well, if you’re going to go that route…:</p>

<p>[How</a> to kill yourself like a man.](<a href=“The Best Page In The Universe.”>How to kill yourself like a man.)</p>

<p>If you’re worried about seeming too manly, select one of the less manly options…</p>

<p>Dbate - I think the balloons are enough (and an adorable idea), don’t overdo it with flowers. I agree with hcvops, your girl is lucky!</p>

<p>I just found out I’ll be out of town for our Senior Prom. Great.</p>

<p>^ I’ve not been in my school building for the entire school year.</p>

<p>I leave home at 6am, and take a bus to Ithaca. Then I take classes. Then I take a bus at 4:30, and get back home at 6pm.</p>

<p>Everyday. </p>

<p>I have no social life anymore.</p>

<p>Wow. And you still manage an active participation on cc?</p>

<p>Some feat…</p>

<p>I would probably blackout after two days…agreed i’m an asian bot…but i still need my lovely sleep ;)</p>

<p>Oh, to sleep, perhance, to dream!</p>

<p>I don’t care about what things portend me shuffling off my mortal coil, I haven’t been able to sleep properly in ages.</p>

<p>Yikes Cadbury Eggs!</p>

<p>I was already told by people who’ve known me less than a week that I’m a tomboy, so no fear of seeming too manly. </p>

<p>For I know I think I’ll let my self alive and continue worrying about admissions.
That’s another way of killing oneself I s’pose.</p>

<p>Dbate- prom idea is cute. stick with the balloons like ilovemusic123 said</p>

<p>&& </p>

<p>@ Atomspatz (from like two pages ago) very insightful post.</p>

<p>another lass here – Dbate, I think just balloons will be enough to sweep her off her feet. :smiley: </p>

<p>…<em>sigh</em> prom. At least I’ll go to prom breakfast, I guess? Our school doesn’t really do the “go to prom stag/in friends groups” kinda thing. :stuck_out_tongue: and it’s NOWHERE as formal…the dance atmosphere is most like an urban club, which means there is a LOT of grinding going on. (and this is why I don’t want to take an awkward guy friend to prom!)</p>

<p>if she gets embarrassed easily, the balloons might not be such a good idea lol
i like the suit idea though, and if she wants to go to prom with you, just asking her should be enough-it’s how I got my grad date</p>

<p>^ , said Gal-less.</p>
