The Magical ( and somewhat Official) Yale RD Countdown Thread

<p>^ I have never watched an episode of Friends. (oh well)</p>

<p>CCR is fantastic, CollegeHopefull. And you'll find my real name is more amusing to say out loud than "Rubber".
On that note, I wonder how many lurkers on this forum think of me as a grey block of rubber with a bindi between my eyes, of Collegehopefull as an overzealous pygmy who wears only ivy merchendise, of ChandlerBing as a life-size cardboard cut-out of the comedy show character and of Butternut as one of those hard, stale candies you got for free at check-in desks of unpopular airlines in your childhood and/ or a bottom-heavy man/woman whose insides are not vivid red but a pale, peachy ochre.</p>

<p>ChandlerBing: Asian pop? It's South-Asian pop I like, but I feel we're going to get along fantastically from now on.</p>

<p>Wait.....I can see the IndiaRubber / Chandler Bing one....</p>

<p>But, how do the descriptions of 'collegehopefull' and 'Butternut' come up?</p>

<p>When I hear 'collegehopefull', I think of a joke my friend made when I was typing my name "Spelling errors are a requirement if you want to have an internet handle".</p>

<p>When I hear "Butternut" I think of (in addition to Butternut's real name), Butternut squash soup. Which is friggin' delicious.</p>

<p>this thread is an epic one</p>

<p>to join in...butternut conjures up an image of butter popcorn :P
yummy :D</p>

<p>musicgal: Yeah hahaha!! That show is godly, I love it. And Chandler is possibly one of the funniest characters ever.
"Could you BE any more stupid?"</p>

<p>For me Butternut reminds me of the squash soup too, that stuff is awesome.</p>

<p>squash soup or popcorn either way
butternut=food-y memories</p>

<p>^ Yummy food (-ic, -ish, -like, -y...Is there even a way to decline this?) memories.</p>

<p>Collegehopefull is too much of an inside joke to give anyone much in the way of memory.</p>

<p>Unless you were in my home at 2 in the morning last year. That's another question altogether.</p>

<p>It has to be "food-y".</p>

<p>Also. I just got my hair cut. I look like something out of Led Zeppelin. Or Def Leppard.
Minus the macro-grin.</p>

<p>-.-</p>

<p>I wish my hair would look like Wally Cleaver's from the "Leave it to Beaver" show.</p>

<p>(I also secretly wish I could live in the idealized 1950s.
"Hey there, Bob! Can you catch the game with us tonight?"
"Aww, gee, fellas, I wish I could, but Pop said I couldn't go"
"That's too bad Bob - Say! Frank, could Bob come fishing with us tomorrow instead?"
"That'd be swell!")</p>

<p>Yeah when I watched Leave it to Beaver when I was 7 or so I used to wish I could live in the 1950s but then I stopped watching Leave it to Beaver and forgot all about it :P</p>

<p>Ooooooooooh my GOD. How many days more? I am so nervous!</p>

<p>^ relax
get popcorn/squash soup and watch leave it to beaver
and then come discuss it here
:D</p>

<p>sorry
that was very random :P</p>

<p>39 days, 12 hrs, 46 min, 5 sec</p>

<p>Excellent! It's no longer in the forties!</p>

<p>I have a med-school interview in 3 days, however, so I should probably concentrate on that. Oof.</p>

<p>Wait, med school? IndiaRubber, are you applying to Brown's PLME program or an undergrad program combining premed and medical school?</p>

<p>I applied to Brown's PLME, yes. But those aren't the interviews I was referring to. In addition to schools in the US, I also applied to places in my home-continent where you can start medical school immediately.</p>

<p>I so wish you could have med school interviews at this age in the US... that would be awesome. I was thinking about applying to PLME but I ended up not doing it. Maybe I should have.</p>

<p>^ Ideally you would start specializing right away too!</p>

<p>I can't believe we're so close to decisions!</p>

<p>^ I know, right? I'm already freaking out (it's official!) and I'm checking my snail mail every single day... this is definitely unhealthy lol.
I think my location should be changed to Crazy, too :P
I seriously hope we don't ALL get rejected from Yale!</p>
