hahahaha... you're officially in charge of our 2014 yearbook based on that sappy post alone 😛
 
actually, a yearbook of crazy applying kids would be really funny. jolt, i second that you're in charge!
 
ok, now i'm feeling like a HUGE idiot. i was emailing all my schools, and I managed to mangle someone's name. i was emailing and typing too quickly, i guess, and merged a first and last name together and wrote a name that nobody in the office had. aargh! :slap:

i think that was back when we were being a deck of cards. ksmi was queen of 2014, i was ace of 2014, rama kandra was the jack of 2014... and bryson made himself the mascot. :laugh:

I think I came just after the cards thing. I just felt like I should be something of 2014.

Which day did you pick?

Thanks! I haven't decided yet. I have a pretty full sept, and I'm probably going to have to get lots of subs at my volunteer EMT gig, so I'm trying to avoid missing those days. Oh, and I hate flying. I'm trying to avoid that too.

Arg! With school and work and studying I have no time to catch up in here, let alone say much. Hi guys!

Congrats to anymore interviews (I read about one I believe).

I must say. I do like walking to work every day. I ride my bike almost all other places. I only use my car when biking/walking is unreasonable.

👍

It took me 22 years but I finally understand the term "Sunday Driver". I metro every day to/from work, but I just LOVE hopping in my car on the weekends and cruising w/ the sunroof down 😀

for folks who hate planes, pourquoi? I come from an airline-family (my dad and 2 uncles work for the airlines). I know its kind of a hassle, but I'd rather fly 3 hours than drive 12 any day.

The train -- now there's a fun compromise 🙂. Love the overnight DC --> Boston route.

i'm often going NYC --> BOS and back, so the train is waaaay expensive compared to the bus. plus, bolt bus ($15) has free wireless! win.

👍 I agree. I hate driving. I was forced into getting a car (meaning my mom bought one for me when I didn't really want one). If I could, I'd walk or use public transportation (except it sucks here).

never tried the bus. also never been to NYC unless it was for a sporting event. might try and rectify both those situations this fall 🙂
 
Trains are the worst long distance transportation (in the US) by far. I took the train to Chicago once and it took over double the time it would have taken me to drive👎.

depends how long distance you're talking. NY-->BOS can take 4.5 hours in a car or on a bus, but amtrak's acela takes only 3 hours. plus no traffic, so less annoying. but over longer distances i can definitely see how the train would suck!
 
i like to drive because its like a mini-roadtrip. if i got an interview in cali, i wouldnt drive there lol
 
Just got my first interview! Pitt! And I only submitted the secondary last night, around 9pm...can't believe how fast that was! Woohoo 😀

Congrats! I was thinking about adding Pitt, but then I remembered that I have way too many schools already. It seems like a great place!

but congrats!

flying sucks. im driving 12 hrs to my interview

I would drive 12 hours over a plane ticket too. It is probably 1/2 the price to drive. Now if it's to somewhere with cheap flights I would fly.

Yeah, they have an auto-interview number. You obviously hit that with your stats. Congrats!!!

Now you just need to convince them that you would want to go there. 😉

Why?
Click to expand...

Why not?

A big reason is because I have a lot of friends in D.C. so im going to stay up there a couple days to hang out in the city. I dont want to have to carry my luggage around.

Plus it's probably cheaper since my car gets like 32 MPG on the highway and it'll be a fun trip
 
I like riding in planes. A sense of newness and adventure, if you will.
 
i like flying and driving

i would drive to everywhere as long as it took <6 hours ish. i finish work around 6 and would probably leave directly after that. midnight isnt bad.


if you are driving like 12 hours though, don't you need like a stop over (unless you are leaving in the morning)? then, gas + hotel becomes kinda expensive

I do too, because it almost always means I'm going to do something fun, interesting, and novel... my last 2 sets of plane rides were to the Bahamas and to Japan, respectively.

Interviews will be exciting but kind of anti-climatic for me... 😛

For me, because it takes way too long.
