I'm talking to Charlie Wan right now.
For a subbie, he's pretty bearable over aim- according to him, he's gonna get halo 2 for xmas, and another subbie- "daniel borup" - plays it too. I really want to see these kids in action. That's what agora days are for, I guess.

Winter break!

Yale

Deferred.

This is better than denied, but a hell of a lot more agonizing than either of the definitive decisions. 42% deffered, 38% denied, 20% accepted. Something like that, I think. There's a 14.4% chance for deffered students. Wow, I really don't think I'm gonna get in.
Well, shit happens.

The U of I still looks like a great place. I have no qualms with it.
Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, U of Chicago- I'm applying to all of those for regular; Harvard'd be nice though I hate looking like a snob, Cornell and Princeton I know relatively little about- I'd have to visit them if I got in, U of Chicago is pretty good.

To tell the truth, if I could kick something innocent and preferably male, I would feel a hell of a lot better now.

My apps are done in all but name. I just need to click a few buttons and my worries are over, I think...

Bet you can't defer me with a FIST IN YOUR GUT!

Second Hand Parts

Yale looms over my shoulders like an invisible burden. My college apps have been frozen in rough draft status, for fear that if I work too hard on them and I get into Yale on thursday I'll have wasted my efforts. But then again, what if I don't get in? I'll be unable to work yet again, knowing that my top choice has knocked me off.
I wish I knew already. I can't be sure of it myself, but I'm putting money on either "deferred to regular decision" or "denied." I can't have been that great in my essays, and plenty of other people have just as good test scores as me, and better extra-curriculars.
Damn, I wish I could just settle on something.

"Let there be epoxy."
And it was good.
