<p>because if so...that is really cool</p>
<p>that sounds so awesome...i really want to go to wyoming now...if only there were a beach by the grand tetons</p>
<p>Yes I am. It refers to the fact that its a valley. The original name was actually Jackson's Hole because a trapper named Jackson was the first to settle here. Thankfully, they dropped the 's. </p>
<p>And yes ritzbitz :) I'm very lucky. The base of Tetons is about 8 minutes from my house.</p>
<p>My fav part was just standing at one end of the main street and looking down it.. i can;t describe it but it was so amazing</p>
<p>that must be an incredible view...i live at the base of South Mountain in Arizona and I love the view but I'm sure they can't compare to the Tetons</p>
<p>The town is very charming. My mom is actually planning to move when I graduate. I get very sad to think that when I visit "home", from whichever college I end up at, that I won't really be coming home. </p>
<p>The town has a lot of character that I'm going to miss greatly.</p>
<p>I'd die if my parents moved away... it would be so hard to see high school friends</p>
<p>Yeah, I have a feeling that those relationships are going to dissolve when I leave. However, I'm much more excited about making new, lasting friendships in college.</p>
<p>i'm sorry...that's a real bummer. you could probably still go back for vacations and such</p>
<p>i feel that way too...It's a little scary how willing I am to just let old friendships go because of college</p>
<p>That's an admirable attitude, Lindsay. I've never been to Jackson Hole, but it sounds beautiful.</p>
<p>Victoria, I play flute!! Umm I don't play the oboe though. My friend does! And I sorta kinda not-really play piano. Just Hava Nagilah and the first part of Fur Elise and a mean Heart and Soul.</p>
<p>haha... i play flute too! if i was smart i would have picked bassoon or something because everyone plays flute! (but hey... i play the freaking harp...) :)</p>
<p>Beth, lol...that's how I play flute...I am a master at hot cross buns</p>
<p>where r u from harpingchic?</p>
<p>Haha Jill give yourself some credit, Hot Cross Buns is tough. Especially that "one-a-penny, two-a-penny" part.</p>
<p>Harpingchic, yay for flutes! And if you've got harp on your list of accomplishments, you don't need to worrying about not standing out!</p>
<p>Thanks Haosquared! I'm just a tad bit obsessed with fantasy. I spend a lot of time writing fantasy stories. ;)</p>
<p>I think the people suffered from anxiety attacks or something like that... </p>
<p>I'm addicted to oreos. Nothing wrong with discussing cookies in my opinion! It gives people a chance to quit worrying about admissions for a little while. </p>
<p>Ah yes, getting deferred is better than getting rejected. </p>
<p>About friendships, some people keep their friends while others grow apart. It is going to be weird leaving behind all my high school friends...</p>
<p>yay for flutes and oboes! i started piano in 2nd grade, but im not good, i never practice. I play the piccolo (yes, its a different instrument than the flute!!) and the alto sax. I own a guitar, but i've played it like 6 times, i dont have the time to teach myself. its acustic, so i figure ill just bring it to Yale with me and let people teach me, haha, ill trade them oboe lessons for it!</p>
<p>Bahhh.... I've played piano for 9 years... gets kinda boring now. I would kill to learn how to play the guitar though!</p>
<p>haha... ritzbitz... i'm from va. athlon-- yea piano is pretty boring.. it's my least favorite of my instruments :(</p>
<p>Victoria, I'll teach you acoustic guitar!</p>
<p>...I regret giving up on piano though. :(</p>
