The gunner stories don't sound to appealing either.

That always surprised me. Wouldn't you expect gunners at the more highly ranked schools? 😕

I was thinking PGW was a nice new acronym for an offensive thing to say. Turns out it's just Philadelphia Gas Works. That's kind of like an expletive, right??
Click to expand...

Haha, I just googled PGW myself.

Then again, for a while I was under the impression that FTW meant "F the what?"
 
Myuu said:
8.7k in grant, 8.5k in Case loan.👍

Oh, hmm. I suppose it's not 61k, as I'm supposed to come up with another 8k. Make that 53k. :laugh:
Click to expand...

53k is the COA for UW :meanie: and UW already gave me a couple grand in Perkins-type institutional loans (that doesn't accumulate interest until after 5 years post-graduation) so I'm already under the 50k/year mark and have a good shot at paying off all my debt within 10 years!! 🙂

Funny how something like THAT makes me happy at this point.. i.e. the alternative is THAT bad.

Its Ledasha.











When you ask the girl's mother about this she responds "The Dash dont be silent"😀
 
Myuu said:
Yeah, definitely watch Firefly/Serenity (more Firefly than Serenity, though:laugh:, and definitely not Serenity first and then Firefly).👍

Don't forget that there are currently four available Galactica OSTs. Miniseries, S1, S2, and S3. Miniseries and S3 are more rhythm-driven, while S2 leans heavily toward the orchestral. Grab the miniseries OST first if you want to watch how PassAcaglia evolves over time.👍

4 OSTS? Really? Wow.

RIAA is no longer serving warrants against individuals. They are now working on other avenues to stop piracy. MPAA not so sure about...

Ahh, right. I remember hearing about that. Good.

Whoa, I've never heard of anyone actually getting caught before? What was he downloading?
Click to expand...

She had a wireless router in her dorm suite registered under her and lots of friends and friends of friends used it, and apparently someone downloaded and shared a... Metallica song? I think that's what it was. And so she got in trouble because it was her router.

Forgive me if this is an incredibly stupid question, but when y'all list prices like that and state the CoA- is that per year or total 4 years??

I'm afraid that's for just one year of your educational adventure!😳

Because most of us are at work or in class and don't want to be!:laugh:
 
RR,

Another cool thing about UW is the Shapiro you can do after 1st year that pays you 5k for 10 weeks work! 🙂

A lot of labs guarantee pubs too!

Nice! How competitive is the Shapiro grant? I'd definitely take advantage of it... I mean, I plan to do some research no matter where I went, and UW doesn't lack in that department at all.. in some ways this is a very easy decision for me to make!

random topic change:

I love pens (stylophile!). I have like 200 pens and I just keep buying more. I feel like I learn better when I am happy with my equipment (you guys may have seen my bookbag thread...) so I bought a new pen today. It is a zebra F-701 and it is one of the "best writing" pens I have ever used.

http://www.zebrapen.com/products/pen/f-701?c=30

It was $7 at Staples. Of course, the pen uses the same F-refills that most of the zebra ballpoints use. The F-301, F-301 Ultra, F-402, etc. all write just as well, but this baby is completely stainless steel (heavy and balanced). I often test out pens by doing some pen-spinning tricks; if the pen isn't balanced, I don't use it at all (psychological thing). This pen, however, is the bomb 👍
 
I would like to chime in the discussion about complaining about finaid.

Apparently one of my schools doesn't feel the need to respond to multiple e-mails and calls regarding residency in one of the larger states in the union. 😡😡😡😡😡

Seriously, I'm about to drop some serious $$ on buying a house I don't want, and not even an "I'm out of the office" reply?

WTF?

FTR, I've been trying for the last month and a half at least, if not longer. I tried to contact this person once back in October, too. And last Wednesday. And I called her today.

Historically anyone who writes a legitimate proposal will get the grant. There are some AMAZING faculty at UW. One of my classmates is doing research at the Thompson lab, where human embryonic stem cells were first isolated... The lab I'm working at helped GE develop magnetic resonance...

I've got a friend who's a school teacher in Dillon, SC. Population = 90% Black.

She came home from a parent teacher night and called to tell me this had happened back in...dang I dunno January.

This is the first time I've heard it elsewhere. I feel so gullible now...

I NEVER fall for this kind of thing...
 
I didn't think it was that funny because there probably is someone out there named Le-a who calls herself Ledasha.

I mean, after going to school with a girl named Miracle Head, you realize that anything is possible...

The feeling of a good pen or mechanical pencil is wonderful. You ever tried a fountain pen? I always wondered what those were like..

Sorry Pianola! That sucks big time. I haven't been on here in awhile but I assume you've decided on a school? 😛

Dude, I believed that it happened.
I've met some kids and you just ask yourself "what happened there? Was there mother still a bit high from the birthing drugs or what?"

I'm still waiting on one finaid package that could make a whole lot of difference. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with my "top choice".

BTW, CRB, how are you doing? How is life post-acceptance at your top choice?? 🙂🙂🙂
