<p>I think we should start a nice list of things to do while we wait for those fat/thin envelopes.</p>
<p>Feel free to list anything that would take up a nice chunk of time and take your mind off of college.</p>
<p>Let's see, dd is:</p>
<ol>
<li> Applying to UC's</li>
<li> On a knitting craze; started a Knitting for Community Service club at school that is wildly popular--boys even joined. Is constantly knitting scarves for holiday presents too.</li>
<li> Trying to keep grades up in a tough senior schedule.</li>
<li> Loving being a senior.</li>
<li> Thinking her mom is a freak hanging out on cc and biting her nails waiting to see if she gets into UCHI.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Reading Mein Kampf. Megalomaniacs and thick philosophy don't combine for an easy read.</li>
<li>Continuing to despise AP Physics.</li>
<li>Avoiding the crushing thought of rejection, or the discouraging thought of deferral.</li>
</ol>
<p>I like your #5, bettina.</p>
<ol>
<li>Writing the Extended Essay for IB</li>
<li>Listening to A LOT of music</li>
<li>Thinking of useless things to fill up the next lit analysis paper</li>
<li>Reading J.M. Robert's "20th Century History" </li>
<li>Watch an unhealthy amount of news</li>
</ol>
<p>Let's see:</p>
<p>1) forcing myself to believe that my AP Chem teacher is not the devil....
2) finishing the book I started about 3 months ago: The Mind's 1 -- had to take a break for Dumas, Shakespeare, Stoppard, Camus and ,of course, Frost.
3) same as Bettina # 3
4) telling my fellow friend that I applied to U of C and not UIC
5) just enjoying life--hey, i only have one:D</p>
<p>"4) telling my fellow friend that I applied to U of C and not UIC"</p>
