oh man, i totally do that too... i won't let my mum go through it before me, even though i know rationally that decisions haven't been sent yet</p>
<p>Yea my parents don't get the mail anymore lol. I banned them from the mailbox.
<em>bites lip</em></p>
<p>lol! haha i know my mom will get it before i do :-X</p>
<p>A month back I was watching a random part of Not Another Teen Movie on TV, specifically the scene when a dad was trying to convince his son to go to Princeton, so he unveiled a big poster with the word PRINCETON on it in his room...I think that was a sign if I've ever seen one.</p>
<p>I know they have already evaluated my application and decided on it......I am at peace, now, I don't need that thin envelop anymore. I am looking ahead to my next 13 essays. Hey, I love Notre Dame and JHU and Mudd and....Nashville, here I come....</p>
<p>I got a fortune cookie on saturday night that read: "You will receive a gift of contentment in the near future." Fortune cookies don't lie. In addition to that, I got called yesterday for my interview and had one for about 2 hours last night...and it went very well. Apparently admissions wanted an interview report from me and extended the interview deadline until something like 10AM this morning.</p>
<p>well, cav....that's good, most likely. You at least know they're considering you. </p>
<p>(Who knows? Mine may have been thrown out by the regional adcom weeks ago, lol.)</p>
<p>I'm banking on what the fortune cookie said ;) .</p>
<p>babouche, what school in nashville are you applying to?</p>
<p>cav, i'm jealous (and happy for you, of course) that your interview went excellently! my interview was only so-so - you could tell the guy really wasn't excited about being there; and he was a biology major while i'm a really big humanities girl. plus, if he was my age, i probably would not have become friends or even casual acquaintances, just by virtue of different interests. i asked him what the street was like, and he said he hated the social scene, was an independent, and basically a recluse for 4 years; did nothing but get up at 6 a.m. everyday to run with a friend trying to make the cross-country team and study for four years. i love to run, but 6 a.m.'s taking it a bit too far...</p>
<p>i think what they meant by contentment was acceptance into James Madison University's Honors Program.</p>
<p>if thats the case, CONGRATS!!!</p>
<p>lol, JMU?? I'm not even applying there.</p>
<p>BTW, ilcapo, how's the Bob Jones application coming?</p>
<p>cav, i didn't tell you?? BJU accepted me to the religious studies honors program! and they are paying for me to come down for christmas vespers. meanwhile back to my readings...</p>
<p>TODAY'S BIBLE READING (from Bob Jones Website)
Ezra 2:1 - 2:35
Amos 7:1 - 7:17
1 John 2:3 - 2:27</p>
<p>I am hysterically laughing right now, reading about my "admissions counselor" on the BJU website. Ready?</p>
<p>How did you meet your husband?
I met Scott on a missions trip to Saskatchewan, Canada. We were just friends! And then the Lord took the relationship a different direction.</p>
<p>What was your most embarrassing BJU moment?
I ran into the back of some guy as he was walking his girl-friend back to her dorm. Needless to say, I wasn't looking.</p>
<p>What is the craziest thing you did in the residence halls?
I was never in my room long enough to do too many crazy things. But I was known to participate in a few water fights with my roommates.</p>
<p>Who is your favorite biblical character other than Jesus?
Asaph</p>
<p>Who the **** is Asaph?</p>
<p>cavalier--do you go the private school?</p>
<p>heart flutters every time I hear "Princeton" or see orange and black.</p>
<p>I have (repeatedly...actually, obsessively may be the correct term here) imagined every detail of the act of opening my mailbox next week and imagined how I would react in every single scenario. At this point, I have come to terms with the fact that most likely, I will be deferred and so I'm working hard on all my other apps. In the event I do get it however (I give myself a 33% chance), I will tear up all college related things in my house.</p>
<p>...when you kick the husband instead of the dog, and you don't regret it.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>this is random, and kinda sad, but this person in my bio class was really sad today (she forces herself to be depressed in order to portray this image anyway I think) because they were putting her dog to sleep...and then when my bio teacher found out, he laughed and said, "when I was little, one day I just walked downstairs and the dog was dead on the steps haha" wow how insensitive! </p>
<p>okk, carry on with the princeton obsession.</p>
