<p>By the way, which colleges are you applying to?</p>

702

<p>@tetris… I don’t think so. Considering it’s just a two-member band. They might have used a bassist, but I don’t think they did.</p>

703

<p>tetris, latin lookup makes me want to be a Brown hopeful. :D</p>

704

<p>Anyone taking Reasoning next Saturday?</p>

705

<p>Submitted 8 Applications. I’m so proud of myself!</p>

706

<p>Taking Math Lvl 2,Chem on Saturday…cram time…I’m gonna have no time…school exams on too.Guess I’ll have to manage with like 4 days to study…</p>

707

<p>@Quasi: It’s awesome, huh? I coined a lot of the captions :D</p>

708

<p>@Quasi : Yeah, I’m taking reasoning. A very screwy situation considering my school exams start on tuesday!</p>

<p>@bigcheese : Where all?</p>

709

<p>Ugh, I hate the fact that we US-hopefuls have to cram SO MUCH during the school year, unlike everyone else who has their other exams after the boards. I don’t have any more standardized tests to give (THANK GOD) and my school exams are over for now, but ugh, only December left and I still have my essays to go. Not cool. Not cool at all T_T.</p>

710

<p>I have my school final rehearsals from December 1 - 10, SAT on the 5th, and a December 1 application deadline to meet. Plus I’ve to retake SAT II in Jan. And I’ve to write a whole bunch of supplementary essays after my exams. </p>

<p>Damn the blessed sorted ones.</p>

711

<p>It will all come through in the end.</p>

<p>/valid optimism</p>

712

<p>December 1? Which deadline is that?? The Harvard priority deadline?</p>

713

<p>I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by :P</p>

714

<p>I know, right? And when you stare helplessly at them, knowing you can never make it on time…</p>

715

<p>@Meghna : Yeah, that, and the usc scholarship deadline.</p>

716

<p>You guys are actually planning on meeting the Harvard priority deadline? I saw it and chuckled to myself and then thought, “Maybe if I don’t sleep for the next week.” Which is not going to happen, because I’m bad enough at math WITH a lot of sleep.</p>

<p>And tetris, VERY easy to be optimistic when you’re done with all your apps, in at your safety (which would be nobody normal’s safety), don’t need FA, and have an 800 on SAT math. Hmph. :stuck_out_tongue: (You try to argue about this and I will go all the way to Chennai to sock you in the eye).</p>

<p>Oh, I have, like, 26 essays to do at this point. Not that I’m starting on any till next Saturday. And don’t get me started ON next Saturday.</p>

<p>Can someone help me?</p>

718

<p>@Quasi: I am cabin’d, cribb’d, confin’d :S</p>

<p>PS: I am <em>not</em> done with all my apps. Let December 15th come and go first!</p>

719
