Whoa, what a day, Pilleriin! And good luck with your teeth, Carma! Congrats on your real name, Sabine! I guess I don´t feel like you´re all freaky sociopaths anymore either, or it´s a really deep cover Winter in Hamburg sucks! It´s rainy all the time and that´s so unfair when you´re wearing glasses! Thanks, Bina. So you changed your name, too. It really seems more personal now.

I thought I´d go with the flow! And since most people here are also on facebook and know everything about me anyway. . I spent half an hour discussing Shirley Jackson´s "We have always Lived in the Castle" with my mom when she called today. That really puts me in a great mood, especially since most people at uni are always shocked why I´m reading all the time because THEY don´t have time for it. I really hate that sentence, like I´m not doing other stuff as well, ugh!

Thanks for all the good luch wishes... and hello Sabine and Bina, I could change my name, but it's already so close to my real name.. No time to read is a shitty excuse to never read.

No time to read is a shitty excuse to never read. I agree!!

Submitted more than half my college apps! 7 down, 5 to go... Congrats! It's terrifying, but I love turning them in -- you can finally stop thinking about it. And you're applying to 12 schools?! That's a lot. I'm only applying to 9, and I've only turned in 3 so far, but I should be done this week. Where do you want to go?

That's a lot. I'm only applying to 9, and I've only turned in 3 so far, but I should be done this week. Where do you want to go? Thanks, you too! I know 12 is a lot, but 5 of them are UCs so they have the same application, and 2 of my apps (CSUs) didn't require essays. I just have Univ. of Washington and some liberal arts colleges that use the Common App left. So it's a lot less work than it sounds like. My first choices are UC Berkeley and UCLA, but to be honest I really don't think I'll get in. I'm also looking at some east coast schools like Vassar and Wellesley. What about you?
