<p>Essay: C'est magnifique!!! Wunderbar!!!!</p>

<p>You said your essay is, "C'est magnifique!!! Wunderbar!!!!"</p>

<p>I've always wondered about that. What makes your essay so magnifique? Do you think most of your work is wunderbar, or just your essay? Would you mind posting some magnifique excerpts from your wunderbar essay?</p>

<p>By the way, there's is a sub forum devoted solely to chancing people. You might want to check it out.</p>

<p>"Why do you think I say my essay magnifique?"</p>

<p>I'd assume it's because you think it's magnifique. I was more interested in why you thought it was magnifique. </p>

<p>And yes, I have been searched at an airport--I think it's a pretty common occurrence. I assume that's what you meant, right? Security was afraid I might be a threat, so they pulled me aside and did a search. I don't think a friend has ever hit my face with full force. I wouldn't want to be friends with somebody that would.</p>

<p>The main reason I asked about your essay is because it seems like every time somebody posts about their essay they say it will be outstanding, awesome, glowing, magnifique, positive adjective. I've always been curious how they were so sure they'd have such a great essay. It does sound like you have interesting material to write about, however.</p>

<p>ok ok, fine. I think you do have pretty good reason to retort my writing. And I would be careful not to say my essay is great in any other way.</p>

<p>Sorry to offend you, but I just only wanted to use other words to say about my essay. The reason why I used my essay is magnifique is that I learned french today for the first time in my life and just was tempted to use C'est magnifique and Wunderbar was the only Deutsch I know to say in german.</p>

<p>I wasn't offended, just curious. </p>

<p>Oh right, chancing. I'm not familiar with most of the awards you listed, but you certainly seem to have a lot of them. Some seem pretty impressive, too. My untrained eye says you are probably qualified for schools around the caliber of Columbia. If my calculations are correct, you have around an 84% chance to get admitted.</p>

<p>Oho, thanks for your fast reply. But I don't think you have untrained eyes. You have trained eyes. Your writing already proved you have shrewd mind. I will be careful really. Not to say something rashly.</p>
