<p>I duno bout any of ya'll. but i decided to make my decisions fun.</p>
<p>First, I will check whether I got into penn at 12PST (during my lunch) in the library. Then I will call my mom and tell her.</p>
<p>Then each day, I will tell one more person, besides on the first day, when I will tell 3 people (in addition to family)...My best friend, a fellow EDer, and a girl I have a bet with in florida. Additionally, if I get in, I will kiss two of my good female friends (on the cheek), and because of this they too will probably know I got in. then I will run 45 minutes home from school.</p>
<p>The second day I will tell one more person
The third day I will tell one more person
etc.</p>
<p>I already have a list of people signed up to find out on the days =D</p>
<p>Of coures, when I tell each person, I will make them vow not to tell anyone else. Once people start to break this/assume my result from my actions, and nearly everyone comes to know, I shall only THEN begin to freely tell people.</p>
<p>Additionally, on friday next week, if I got in, I'm going to ivysport.com and buying the T-shirt that has penn's ivy emblem on the back real big above the other 7 ivy emblems, and says "It's lonely at the top" Then, once I recieve it, I will wear it for one week every single day. So I'm assuming that'll be 2-3 weeks after I order it, and everyone will know I got in because I'll be wearing the shirt.</p>
<p>1.) me
2.) anyone on my buddy list thats signed on
3.) CC!</p>
<p>4.) My parents ( and the I assume my parents will quickly tell my aunts and uncles)
5.) my sisters
6.) That's a friday - I'll be bragging to my friends the WHOLE NIGHT
7.) Kids at school, calling them suckers and talking about how schools over lol.
8.) everyone else because I'll have my hands on a PENN sweatshirt within 48 hours lol</p>
<p>1) me
if i get in:
2) whoever i'm talking to on AIM at the moment, i'll scan my buddy list and im everyone, put it on my am
3) run screaming to my mom
4) tell her student if she's teaching (piano) at the time
5) call anybody not online
6) all you CC ppl
7) every single one of my teachers... well, u kno, every1 will know. stf spreads like wildfire. plus, i'll be wearing my penn sweatshirt.
8) then, i will, if he's not online, call my penn friend and thank him for helping me w/ my essays</p>
<p>if i get deferred/rejected
2) friends.. the ones i trust.. people will ask anyway
3) my mom
4) my penn friend
5) my guidance counselor</p>
<p>anuvx thats a really neat idea. I don't have that kind of discipline to do that though. I'll probably end up running around naked on the streets....</p>
<p>I've been thinking about delaying telling CC though. You'll be dying to know mwhahaha</p>
<p>it was just like that...except it was penn.
I did a search and I found columbia, princeton, and something else...but Penn seems to have disappeared?! and why would they make other shirts that say its lonely at the top, when Penn is CLEARLY the ONLY ivy at the top.!.!.</p>
