<p>Well, I've been admitted to Caltech, which I am now deeply, but distantly yet, in love with.
As you can see my nickname is MIT related. Now, I don't want that to confuse anyone, thus, I decided to change it. I wrote several e-mails to the administrators of CC, but got no respose after a couple of weeks of waiting.</p>
<p>I am askin you for suggestions on solving this problem. If opening a new account is the only solution... I will reluctantly accept it. Hm... there'll be another question: what should my new username be...</p>
<p>Your present username is fine. Think of all the confusion it will cause; a Caltech student with an MIT-related name. Keeps everyone on their toes.</p>
<p>Mhm, and a general word of advice to current high shool class of '07ers and below: don't make your username a shrine to any college =)</p>
<p>Perhaps a "shrine" would be going too far, but why not a name like Caltech_Maybe ?</p>
<p>...well, because if in the end you go to, say, MIT....that would be a rather awkward username to have. You don't get to change it, after all, and if you do, it would be a rather awkward change.</p>
<p>Sure it's awkward. But some people have been awkward their entire lives.</p>
<p>Anyway, I agree: Caltech_Maybe isn't the best username.</p>
<p>So, what should I do? Open a new account or write to the CC admins again??</p>
<p>Hey, where in Europe are you from?</p>
<p>PS Usernames don't mean anything, I wouldn't bother about it if I were you</p>
<p>I'm from Moldova - a small country between Romania and Ukraine.</p>
<p>I really want to change my username anyway.... so, how about...'Techer' ??? :DD</p>
<p>We have a Moldovan! He's graduating though... :(</p>
<p>:( Can you get me his e-mail, or at least full name? I am VERY interested! Never thought there was anybody from Moldova there already.</p>
<p>When I get on campus... I will tell you a long story about what do the terms 'Moldovan' and 'Romanian' mean...</p>
<p>ow, ow
i know!
i know!</p>
<p>pick me! pick me!</p>
<p>lol...hehe...i can explain the difference, too :D</p>
<p>i also never thought there were people from there.... here (if that makes any sense)</p>
<p>anyway, i've been wondering, what is he majoring in? (if it's not confidential, of course)</p>
<p>Physics. Really great guy too, I'll be sad to see him go.</p>
<p>Well, I'm a Moldovan too, planning to major in Physics... maybe I can compensate for the loss :)</p>
