MrsTrucker: Good morning Managamy! It is entirely up to you whether you ditch them or not. One rule we have on this ship is we love everyone, whether they go over to the dark side at times or not. ;) Just remember we are always here for moral support! :D

Penn acceptances are going out. Whether or not anyone in this thread gets one, it's still exciting. Particularly since it's mainly ED kids getting in to their first choice. Makes me smile. :)

I think its the fact that you got into some of the best law schools but yet you're posting over there... they probably feel as if you're just rubbing it in. narcissistic behavior? even the fact that you're talking about just leaving them alone instead of actually doing it...

im glad for you though and i want to wish everyone else GL!

Sure, and good luck! It's not that bad as long as you learn how to work the problems and manage your time. I neglected my studying a bit and suffered for it, but it's not as overwhelming as many make it out to be. You'll do fine. Again, good luck!

Okay... So, been busy today.... so I haven't had too much time yet to post.

However, I have lurked around the acceptance threads and my head is hanging a little, as I have received no acceptances and everyone else seems to be getting about $1,000,000 to go to law school.

Not pessimism here, I'm looking for a pick me up... :?

It's a good one though...And don't even worry jackalope, I haven't got one yet, but like we've talked about in the past, even the hard times lead to good things. Besides, it takes a long time to add up how much they want to pay you for a stipend in addition to tution for 3 years. :wink:

+a lot. That's exactly what I've been doing, in response to their vicious criticism of what was initially genuine encouragement. I think that it's time to stop. Callling a ceasefire for the holidays, and heading off to get my sister some Christmas presents!

Good luck to pessimism infiltrators, not in infiltrating but in more important matters! :D

That's what I'm talking about! Who can look at a fluffy little bunny, and not crack a smile? Thanks, Mrs. Trucker!

What has two thumbs and thinks that bunnies are the cutest little creatures (points at self with double thumbs)? This guy/gal! (Jackalopes enjoy a good mystery.) Can't help it... I'm a sucker for cute animals. Ask my cat.
