<p>I think ( hope) you will all appreciate this. When I was younger, I was quite gullible- I believed in Santa until I was 12, I mean literally believed in a chubby jolly old chap with a white beard, red ensemble who came down the chimney. So when my brotthers and I became entranced with Pokeman I obviously thought they were real. So apart from dressing as pickachu for Halloween, waking up at ungodly hours to watch extra episodes of the show, collecting cards like a fiend, I actually thought I was going to become a Pokemon trainer when I turned 10. For an entire summer I went into my backyard pretty much everyday and " Trained" so that when Brock came on my 10th Birthday to take me away to become a Pokemon Trainer I would be prepared. It was a dissapointing Birthday.</p>

<p>hah</p>

<p>Grace really is on PSAC, she was my tour guide in October, and she has posted a few times on the Uncommon Blog–so if I were you, I would believe her when she says that the emails will not be sent out today. It’s not worth it to die from anxiety attacks for no reason today!</p>

<p>an UCLA email almost gave me an heart attack…</p>

584

<p>lol, the first email in my inbox was the Uchicago Thanksgiving update. After two times nearly keeling over in excitment, I deleted it. :)</p>

585

<p>Geeze… this wait is killing me. I need to know if I need to send out my emergency deferral packet (full of all the new things/other recs/etc etc) before the end of this week! (Or, if rejected, to know to actually start on other apps…)</p>

<p>While we’re all waiting for Chicago apps decisions there could not be a more relevant high brow topic to discuss than Pokemon. I was all about the legendary birds, Zapdos was the coolest. I had all the games until crystal version and also played the game for N64, Pokemon Stadium. I stopped watching Pokemon when all the characters’ voice actors changed…it was just weird after that.</p>

587

<p>lol i still play all the pokemon games</p>

588

<p>that’s AWESOME LOL</p>

589

<p>i still remember frantically trying to capture those darned birds and finally mewtwo.</p>

590

<p>Who do you guys think was cooler mewtwo or mew? For me it was always mewtwo.</p>

591

<p>omg guys i think everyone is going crazy after this cruel waiting… we r talking about pokemon?</p>

592

<p>I play all the pokemon games, too.</p>

<p>I have to admit Pokemon Silver has always been my favorite.</p>

593

<p>yes, but i never made the transition from gameboy to gameboy advanced.</p>

594

<p>Mew.</p>

<p>Anyone remember Pokemon Snap?</p>

<p>That is the only video game I have ever won, haha.</p>

595

<p>I had to get the game shark to get the unlimited master balls to catch mewtoo!!</p>

596

<p>dude snap was a beastly game. haha I enjoyed throwing random objects such as apples at random pokemon</p>

597

<p>So are we back to the situation of not having any idea when decisions will be released?</p>

598

<p>Yes.
…
:(</p>

599

<p>That was a great temporary distraction, but, yes we are back to decisions.</p>

<p>I think they’re going to hold out on us until Thurday since there has been rampant panic and harassment.</p>

<p>ugh I know I sound completely selfish when I say this, but it is not fair that decisions won’t be up today. I mean, yeah I know they’re checking and stuff, but seriously, this is too long and most colleges let people know by today. No, I’m not mad because “I need to know now for my own mental sake” - which is true. But they need to give us time to do backups! I would love to have them done this week so I can have a nice relaxing Christmas break with my family and have them in by the 1st. But no, I need this week badly. I would hate to spend my winter break doing apps because Chicago decided to wait so long. Seriously, if they let us know thurs/wed, how much of a vacation do I have?! This is seriously not ok :(</p>

<p>yeah yeah I know they have a reason, but I really need to vent right now</p>
