I can think of a billion things I'd rather do than study chemistry, which is what I should be doing right now... but since I'm procrastinating, I can only waste my time on teh Intarnets.
A week or two ago I signed up for this Japanese shopping service, and on Friday I paid just under $60 for three CD+DVD sets and a mini-album+goodies by Panic Channel. Damn good deal, I think, considering that the price included auction fees, airmail shipping, and service charge. If my CDs get here in good shape, then I will definitely buy again using this service. Unfortunetly, the three CD+DVD sets I bought plus another CD+DVD set got put up on Yahoo!Auctions Japan with LOTS of extras, but there's no way I'm buying three CDs again just for 5 signed photos plus a video. Well, if it was cheap I would consider it because I think I can resell the stuff I'd already have, but I think with fees and shipping it'd be close to $100, which is way more than I could recoup. So poo.
Everyone I've talked to about getting waitlisted (including two med school students) is like, "Congrats on getting waitlisted! You'll probably get in!" While I really appreciate the support, I'm reminded of the General Patton quote in Dan's facebook - "If everyone is thinking and everyone is coming up with the same answer, then someone isn't thinking." I guess, though, that there's no actual thinking involved here. It's knowing. Or whatever.
I just really want to get into Pitt. I wonder if I should tell them that if they admit, I'll 100% come. I'm leaning towards saying that, because at this point the only other possible choices I'd have are NYU and Mt. Sinai.
For dinner I had half the rest of the package of sugar snap peas, unseasoned because they're nice like that, and a Stouffers chicken pot pie. The pie looked really small when I started eating, but right now I'm really full. o___o; Yay, protein mebbe?
The grapevine tells me that Dan's major angsty now about stuff. Just thought I'd put that out there.
Posted by amoeboid at February 4, 2007 9:14 PMno angst. just lots of exams and a couple of resolutions.
good stories with awful graphics are pretty commonplace. ive found a couple of good games that fall into that category. septerra core, the aforementioned sanitarium, older games such as alone in the dark, phantasmagoria, i have no mouth but i must scream. all old, but excellent stories. future shock 2 will scare the crap out of you too.
