<p>DiveAlive's a girl! Haha, we mess genders up a lot on this board.</p>
<p>I am SO the 801st post. I feel cool.</p>
<p>Making duplicate accounts is not allowed, right, guys?</p>
<p>says who... </p>
<p>says me?</p>
<p>says you?</p>
<p>says him?</p>
<p>says her?</p>
<p>I had to ask the permission of a moderator to create a duplicate account, because my old account used my real name. So I'm assuming just creating one to avoid a ban isn't really allowed.</p>
<p>Saer, it says your from upstate new york, are you being affected by the buffalo crash (friends, family etc.?)</p>
<p>First: never mind about the duplicate account. :P</p>
<p>Second: No, no family or friends... We're quite a bit south of buffalo (nearer to Pennsylvania than Buffalo) but it's a terrible tragedy and a terrible loss.</p>
<p>A lot of people are from upstate. I am from the Boston area.</p>
<p>Boston's not upstate.....</p>
<p>Upstate is the area above New York City, below Albany/Syracuse/etc... Actually, I'm not crystal clear on the distinction between Upstate and... not-Upstate... But I do know that Boston's in Massachusetts... XD</p>
<p>22 days! Exciting.</p>
<p>here's it's almost about to go down to 20 days and 23 hours XD</p>
<p>Holy crap :D</p>
<p>22 dayssssssssssssss</p>
<p>I've been watching Damages to keep my mind off the big day. It's an awesome series.</p>
<p>almost 3 weeks! wow, that sounds really scary. in almost 3 weeks, we'll all be getting our /hopefully/ acceptance letters! that's really really scary to think about. i think my nails are going to be bitten to nothing if i don't find something to pass the time.</p>
<p>what do all of you do to pass the time when you're think about schools, and cannot seem to get your mind off them?!</p>
<p>I'm getting Skins soon... It's a British series, the first season just came out on DVD... So excited! Love netflix!</p>
<p>Hmm.. As for passing the time or getting my mind off schools, I just don't! I let my mind wander and wonder about the schools, where I'd accept, what I'd bring, etc. It's actually more calming. Because if you tell yourself not to think of something, you're SO gonna think about it.</p>
<p>i know saer! that always happens to me. it really is impossible to get your mind off the subject. however, im just worried most of the time what i'll do if i'm rejected. most of my thoughts are negative, lol. i'm /so/ nervous.</p>
<p>what would all of you see yourself doing/being at bs of your choice?</p>
<p>Oh my gosh -- I watched the entire first season of Skins on Youtube a few years ago! So awesome. </p>
<p>What do you mean by "see yourself being"? The only thing I can think of that fits that sentence is an athlete. I mean, I know what sorts of activites and classes I'd like to be participating in...is that what you are asking?</p>
<p>yeah mostly. like, what would your legacy be at the school? what would people (hate to say this) label you as? what would you be remembered for? sort of like the essay questions some of the schools ask us. </p>
<p>for me, i'd think i'd be artsy, mostly because i am a complete klutz in most things. i trip every other minute.</p>
<p>Legacy:
I want to be one of those people that the admissions people use- "You know Saer? She went here, got started here." A shining example of the school's awesomeness and opportunities.</p>
<p>Label:
I want to be the spazzy, hyper, too-happy, so weird its awesome girl. Exactly as I am now, but without the negativity that's surrounded me since a bad period early on during school. Everyone knows me here, they all remember what I was like, so I can never have a fresh start.</p>
<p>Remembered for:
I want to be remembered for that amazing painting/drawing/graphic novel/artwork that's hanging in the PMAC (Choate)/art center, or for being the best setter the school had ever seen. Or I want to go on and be this HUGE success, in psychiatry or graphic design or music or volleyball, and be remembered for starting it at the school.</p>
<p>I want to BE myself, just with more opportunities!</p>
