<p>YES TWO NZ'ers BOTH IN!!</p>
<p>haha...I saw the phrase "im sooo stoned right now" and I was like someone knows how to celebrate! I'm guessin it's New Zealandish for "tired."</p>
<p>stoning commences tomorrow for me ;)</p>
<p>CONGRATS TO ALL ACCEPTED!!!!!!!</p>
<p>sorry for the spam but i cant help. i am reading stuff for tomorrow's intro to logic test and i am so ****ing confused, check out this sentence:</p>
<p>"let us now noted that considering and believing are themselves self-presenting. if you are sad and consider your being sad, then you will attribute sadness to yourself. if you consider your being sad and then consider your considering being sad, then you will believe yourself to consider your being sad. and if you believe yourself to be sad and consider your believeing yourself to be sad, then you will believe yourself to believe yourself to be sad."</p>
<p>I AM SO SAD NOW</p>
