I only applied to 4 because I was being too picky, and one of those was a safety. I kind of regret not applying to Harvard, UMich, or UCLA, though. Not that I'd necessarily want to go to those schools over UVa though!

I really should get a car just so I can be designated driver for people :P

ACK!! I have to get a car. I'm very nervous about this, because I need to buy one as soon as I move to C-ville. It took me weeks to buy a desk, so buying a car might kill me.

I wasn't actually sure I wanted to go to law school and decided that I didn't really care. It was probably kind of dumb. I didn't apply to any schools larger than 1200 people, that were urban, that I thought would be stressful/competitive to be at, or weren't ranked significantly higher than my home school, UW. Which left me with like next to no places. I really don't know why I didn't apply to UMich, though. I would've definitely considered it. Colder than Virginia, but closer to home.

my light at the end of the tunnel is just simply being done with finals! I'm not working the summer and it feels soooo good. I figure if I've got to leave DC, I better spend a good few weeks with her. Then C-ville in June!!!


Any chance someone would be willing to watch my cat over winter break? I know it's a long time, but I just found out it costs $200 to take a cat on the plane!!!

UVA is totally my light at the end of the tunnel. I've had one of those days that reminds me why I hate it here so much and can't wait to leave. Thank god I'm gone on Friday...

1) My arch-nemesis got the "Classics award" ($1000 scholarship for being the best Greek student), and it just about killed me to see her name of the plaque. I'm smarter, I'm a better person... she just schmoozed better and took advantage of the fact that I couldn't go to conferences this semester due to my injury. Bitch.

2) My friend had this awkward graduation dinner, at which was the #1 person I hate -- my roommate's bestfriend (who used to be a good friend of mine) who basically ruined my life for 6 months until I (mostly) got over it. Of course we were at the same table. She eventually proceed to trash talk long distance relationships (very, very clearly targeted me), and I had had enough wine at that point to be like, "Yeah, I fucking hate this bitch." Also may have thrown in how I can't wait for her to get shot in Memphis. I've spent this whole year taking crap from her, and to some extent it felt good speaking out, but I still hate that she can get the better of me.

I'm just so done. The UVA people I've met so far are already leaps and bounds nicer than 99% of the people at my current school.

sia - I am so with you on that. The combination of the problem with my roommates and my other roommates not sticking up for me (they went out with her bf the next night!!), makes me wish I could be at UVA right now.

So far you guys seem great - I hope we all click in person! And hopefully the maturity level will be higher and the character stronger of my new friends!

I'm sorry about the crappy day :(

At least you don't get routine calls at 4 a.m. from your ex-roommates blasting and singing along to Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone." Bitches.

as i've reiterated before: ladies keep your pimpin' hand strong!

but, yea hang touch and we'll all have a ton of fun come the summer/fall. i've stoked about heading down and i'm confident we'll all mesh well. i only get really wild and rowdy after drinking a bit too much (need to limit that :P )

AE, as i said before, i'll lay the smackdown for you if needed.

that sounds pretty "funny", albeit obnoxious. i gave my a friend of mine so much shit when he had clarkson go off as part of the radio alarm back in the day. might have been the same song!

I get a little out of hand when I drink, too. I actually had to apologize at the last UVA get together in DC. I need to work on that. :oops:

I get way too flirtatious. Which can often get taken the wrong way. I mean, sometimes I mean it and sometimes I don't. It's just what I do.

tkm, I told you about my ex-Columbia roommates, right? Similar crap, ugh that sucks.

This is how the conversation went (there were six of us at the table -- three of which totally obvious to our hatred, plus my bestfriend who is also her bestfriend -- talk about being in the middle!))

Me: Yeah, my boyfriend and I have been together long distance for 3 years.
Her: People in long distance relationships are stupid, blah blah blah blah.
Me: Wow, I really fucking hate that bitch.
Table: Wait, did you see someone?
Me: You're sitting right next to her.
Table: *awkward stares*
Me: It's cool, three more days then I never have to see her again, and she'll get shot in Memphis anyway... that'll be awesome.
Table: *horrified stares*
Me: But ANYWAY...

I started to think of ways to "accidentally" pour my wine on her, so then I realized it was time for me to make an early exit. She looked so ugly too. She was wearing a mint green cotton dress with GOLD HOOKER HEELS. I admit this wasn't my finest (or most mature) hour, but honestly I have been dealing with her crap all year, the last thing I could take was her insulting my relationship.

Any guesses why we stopped being friends? Last year I didn't thank her enough for hanging out with me on my birthday. So she fumed about this for three weeks, until I finally figured out she was avoiding me / mad at me, and then called her out on how stupid that is. Since then she's done everything in her power to make things as awkward as humanly possible. Ugh. Don't you love when you're punished for doing nothing wrong????

I hate drama . . . and do a good job of avoiding it. You gotta learn to tell which types of people love drama, and which people are down to earth and not stuck in high school.
