<p>deferred ed still waiting, waitlisted at Haverford, waiting on 10 more!!! Goodluck to all</p>
<p>the only thing that makes me totally forget about it...is when i put on some choral music and sing it at the top of my lungs, eyes closed, dancing and clapping. it especially works with gospel music, which probably isn't too good b/c i'm jewish lol. i turn up the volume on my computer and snap all around my room, and for a few blissful minutes my head is clear and all I think about is the music...</p>
<p>I wish I had such a release... I could play the piano, but I don't like practicing for a very long time. It's usually for just 10 minutes at a time, interspersed throughout the day.</p>
<p>haha same here! i looooove the piano though...i'll go downstairs and play a ten-minute piece, it makes me feel so much better and gets rid of the ache in my fingers.</p>
<p>blu-- choir music works for me too. We're singing at alice tully in April. wheee</p>
<p>i repeat: we're the same person. lol alice tully, that's fantastic!</p>
<p>i know!! you and me, roommates.</p>
<p>haha you're going to Rutgers? how strange...</p>
<p>KIDDING! oh god wouldn't it be great though...we'd listen to Ben Folds and sing in choirs and speak Russian to each others' parents haha</p>
<p>that way, we wouldn't get stuck with some weird Goth roommate like in Urban Legends...did you ever see that movie? intense-ness.</p>
<p>yeah, i'm terrified that no matter where i end up, i'll get a roommate that's introverted, surly, anti-social...the horror! lol</p>
<p>I am also worried about my roomate(s). Do you think they would purposely stick us with people who have nothing in common with us to create "open-mindedness" and "tolerance?" </p>
<p>As Georges Clemenceau muttered after Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points Address at Versailles, "Hmm...What rich idealism!"</p>
<p>well, i was under the impression that you usually fill out a survey about what you're like and what you want in a roommate. i.e., if you're a neat freak, they won't give you a self-styled slob. if you're outgoing and want an outgoing roommate, they'll prob. fix it up that way</p>
<p>hey, where's graci? i was just looking around the dreaded p r o w l e r and it would appear that out of all the schools i applied to, only Dartmouth guys got an A in hotness. woohooooo!</p>
<p>haha, blu. </p>
<p>as for the roommates thing, the survey is all well and good, but are freshmen allowed to pick their own if they want? i mean, what if two people from a high school went to Dmouth together and wanted to room? (i know it wouldn't serve the purpose of college, blah blah blah, but just hypothetically)</p>
<p>I dont think they would be allowed</p>
<p>i know some people in my HS that are going to college together, and are planning on rooming, so its definitely possible at some schools... although at Dartmouth, I'm not really sure....</p>
<p>thats a good offer!</p>
<p>guys, this is awful. i couldn't sleep last night because i couldn't stop THINKING about this whole college thing. I just tossed and turned and THOUGHT and there was no way of getting the thoughts to leave my head. I got about three hours of sleep...oh well, at least i get out of class to time a debate today lol</p>
<p>haha, we're so alike, I couldn't sleep either! </p>
<p>i got to stay home though-- sick...</p>
<p>hmm something hit me yesterday. I walked into choir and a sophomore girl friend of mine was like, "Renee, what's the story for today?" I immediately began telling the sopranos and some of the tenors about something funny that happened with this guy, "Adam". And as usual, I'd say "So then Adam - " they'd interrupt to verify, "Johnson?" and I'd say Yeah and continue. Even if they've never once spoken to "Adam", they know who I'm talking about. With fellow seniors, they don't even need the last name, and can identify the person just by the context of the story. When I say "Adam", they automatically picture the person that is Adam. Next year, any time I bring up such a story, it'll have to start with "This guy I went to high school with" or "This kid from my hometown", because the audience doesn't know Adam. It'll take some getting used to, the fact that not everyone knows everyone else lol</p>
