<p>We could all be class mates next year 
</p>
<p>SUP!</p>
<p>there is like maybe 4 people on the Bowdoin thread that talk a lot other than that. nothing really
i am just trying to pass the days for the next three weeks. I am honestly kinda burned out on school right nowā¦and low and behold. i just got slammed with essays and projects
but at least that will keep my mind off application stuff</p>
<p>i really canāt wait until ski season starts. i am really wanting to get up on the snow again. i need a break from mountain biking. plus I am a wway better skier than i am a biker
been unicycle a lot tooā¦up in the mountains. taken some pretty hard falls and now have some nice scars on my shins</p>
<p>as for this fall in generalā¦
my year started out pretty bad. I got my appendix taken out 2 days before school in minneapolis. (i was coming home after being gone for a month) missed the first week of school. so that wasnt the best start to the year. it got better after that and honestly it feels like this fall has gone by really darn fast. not too sure why</p>
<p>how are your falls going?</p>
<p>^Appendectomy five!</p>
<p>Ouch. Thatās tough. zfox, my twin brother and you might hit it offāheās a mountain biker and a skier, depending on the season.</p>
<p>Do you all generally like senior year, or is it just exhaustively crazy for you, too? </p>
<p>(Iām applying to Bowdoin and everywhere else RDādonāt shun meā¦)</p>
<p>I hate senior year. Like it could have been so much easier but i had to go and take Social Science researchā¦what a dragā¦not supposed to be pulling all nighthers this yearā¦</p>
<p>the ummmmmā¦space where my appendix used to be feels really great now. I feel way better than I did all summer. I am pretty sure that my appendix had slowly been swelling for a long timeā¦cause i felt pretty bad for quite some time beforehand. </p>
<p>But yaā¦skiing and mountian biking are pretty similarā¦hucking your carcass down a hill at probably stupid speeds. Its the adrenaline from it allā¦adrenaline junkies will find something to do every time of the year. </p>
<p>senior year feels sooooo monotonous to me. I seriously feel like it is just day in and day out the same stuff. over and over and overā¦and over
we are accepting here on the Bowdoin boardsā¦no shunning to anyoneā¦unless you are being a jackassā¦which you are not</p>
<p>my year is about to cool downā¦after xmas break i think that most of my classes will get pretty easy and i wont be stressedā¦no apps to finish either.</p>
<p>so i saw James Bond the other dayā¦and I really gotta sayā¦i was kinda dissapointed. I was really hoping for some just cool fight scene but instead they had to do all the crap with the camera so i felt like i was going to pukeā¦i had no idea what was going on because the dang camera would stop moving. you just gotta love old time fight scenes where the camera was still and two guys just went at itā¦like kung fu style and whatnot</p>
<p>you already did all your apps? how many schools are you applying to?</p>
<p>i was actually disappointed with āquantum of solaceā too 
ācasino royaleā was a lot better!</p>
<p>butā¦
accepted toā¦
missouri stateāfull tuition
truman stateāfull tuition.</p>
<p>it looks like iāll be at truman if bowdoin doesnāt work out :(</p>
<p>our wait will soon be over, guys :)</p>
<p>i got into Tulane already
the honors college and with $24000 a year which I think is pretty exciting
I am apply to like 10 schools i think and I am no where near done with all my apps
then againā¦i will probably recycle my essays and make them specific to each school by tweaking them
and luckily most of the schools are commonapp</p>
<p>Tweaking essays so that I donāt have to do such insane amounts of workā¦thatās pretty much all Iāve been doing over Thanksgiving. Fun times. </p>
<p>I was dumb and decided to apply everywhere RD, since none of my schools have EA, so now I have a really long/daunting wait before I find out if/where I get accepted. So irritating. I just want to know now!</p>
<p>Iāll talk to you guys. Iām new, as you have probably guessed. I applied ED to Bowdoin and Iām from washington State</p>
<p>Oh cool a Washingtonianā¦haha
we share a boarderā¦i know rightā¦pretty sweet stuff. Where in washington?
cause i really like the seattle area!!!
we almost moved there at one point actually
and the orchestra i play in went up there last year and we are going again this year. pretty exciting stuff</p>
<p>Just needed to say thisā¦tonight has been a glorious night for the Bowdoin boards. we have had tons of posts and chit chat all night
way to go guys!!
lets show those ivy league wishers whoās superior~!!</p>
<p>zfox, what do you play in orchestra? Iām a violinist. 
</p>
<p>And Isabelle, my cousins are from Washington StateāSeattle, actually. One of themās at the Univ of Rochester and he came to our house for Thanksgiving this year. Seattleās awesome.</p>
<p>yeah, Iām from Seattle. I go to school on Capital Hill if you know where that is. Iām so nervous about the letter from Bowdoin, I almost considered writing a sign on my mailbox that says āif itās a small letter from Bowdoin College, donāt bother. keep it.ā but then I would never find out if i got deferred or rejectedā¦or if they give you small acceptance letters.</p>
<p>I play the violin and and viola
In orchestra I play violin though because we seem to be the only place in the world with an overabundance of violistsā¦haha</p>
<p>hi guys
iām from Los Angeles ish
Did you guys get a chance to visit? I know and love Bowdoin from research alone. My parents want me to finish all apps before winter vacation so we can visit Maine, but iiiiiiitās not gonna happen. I"m working on the supp essay right now and itās pathetic</p>
<p>anyway :]</p>
<p>Hey guys! I wanna get in on this discussion! I play violin too! Iām the concertmaster at my school in Alabama. I am applying to Bowdoin ED II.
I cannot seem to start the supplemental essay! Iām waiting for it to just hit me I guess.
And I have 5 other apps to do. I had no idea this would all be this crazy and stressful.
All of my classmates have been accepted to dumb universities and know where they are going. They think Iām crazy. I canāt wait to go to Bowdoin with all of you guysā¦maybe! Then I can have friends and people wonāt ridicule me all the time. insert sad face.</p>
<p>haha dumb universities. Well, i guess we have that at my school too. I know exactly what you mean. I really want to go to Bowdoin where everyone is crazy smart and basically nerdyā¦in a good way of course!</p>
<p>zfox - I got the same offer from Tulane! Iād muchhhh rather go to Bowdoin though. To be honest, I like Tulane but itās my least favorite of all the schools Iām applying to. But I must admitā¦the money is pretty tempting, for my parents especially.</p>
<p>You mentioned getting accepted at Truman State with full tuition. How do you already know you got full tuition? I thought they made those decisions later ā or wasnāt it one of the competitive scholarships? Just curious how that worked there because I interpreted it differently.</p>
