Congrats on the UVA admit...I predict more to follow.

you're everywhere!

I saw your LSN page earlier today and then saw you again on the note-typing discussion on LSN. Good luck waiting out those long post-winter-break application decisions. Why is Boalt so far down on your list? It's on the wrong side of the Bay, but that's all Stanford's got over Cal...

darn columbia...

...nobody likes a tease. A good friend of mine went to UVA, and said that she wouldn't have gone if she knew how far away from DC it is. (2.5hrs) She also says it's the best law school to be a student, though. So you know. I tell you this because it looks like you've got the SF/DC/NY thing going on. I wish USC or UCLA were near the Bay; I'd go to them there in a heartbeat... In my next life, I'll be much more careful in cherry-picking college classes and I'll go to SLS or Boalt . Or work harder. Yeah, cherry-pick. (oops, I meant LSD somewhere up there in my earlier post, but you knew that.) how is it possible to for a pigtail to bt tousled, anyway?

I must admit UVa could be closer to DC, but it's not that bad of a drive, espeically if you have plenty of places to crash there :-) I didn't apply to many LA area schools because having grown up there, it doesn't really interest me all that much to be there. Pigtails are easily tousled during strenuous activity, through use of force, or by wearing hats.

You were in the Olympics? That's awesome!

Parlez-vous Olympics?
Sunday, June 26 2005 at 08:00 PM

Oui. I was a performer in the Opening Ceremovies of the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney. I wrote my PS about how the experience made me feel about international cooperation and also about how hard it was to miss half a semester and still do well in college. It's worked 3 times so far, let's hope for more

weird ass gw waitlist...what's wrong with them?

GWU :(
Sunday, July 10 2005 at 08:00 PM

I guess the GW/GU animosity extends to the undergrad alumni too. You've got about the best index numbers on the waitlist... Well, good luck making your choice...

Sorry
