<p>once again, thank you for such kind words, guys. i thought maybe from reading the columbia board that i would be really bitter about those who got accepted giving me advice, but it feels wonderful. even though i guess we are on different paths now...:) ah well. i like mine for its uniqueness.
going to call my dad and tell him... i betcha he's more sad than i am. not sad about 42K back in his pocket.. but here goes.</p>
<p>goodnight!
(kate and bonnie and ryan... godspeed my little triscuits of love)</p>
<p>Check out on the acceptance page where it says, "What's Next" on the left... it even tells you about the new updated links in the little acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Yeah! We can get a jump start on knowing some names and backgrounds. Maybe we should start an AIM contact list or something. My SN is tiger60067 .</p>
<p>Last year they (the class of '08) started a livejournal community. We should definitely do something like that. My aim screen name is MissClix. </p>
<p>Phil- I am SOOOO sorry that you didn't get in. It's definitely their loss - you're an amazing person. You'll do VERY well wherever you end up. Where else are you applying? Do you know if Jake, Anya, or Kaitlin got in?</p>
<p>primab - I'm so excited that we're going to get to study theater together! I have loved talking to you on here. Do you have any idea which dorm or res college you want to be in yet?</p>
<p>What are the terms under which one may opt out of this binding decision? May someone please explain thoroughly the aspects of "financial hardship?" I would very much appreciate it. Opinions are welcome, however, any real information would be even better!</p>
