Holy crap, you're moved already GC?

I second Cougs' sentiments.

GC: PS - Really sorry about the truck snafu. At least the second dude hooked you up!

+pad+ I've lived in this apartment for nearly eight years and I've never had problems with the paper-thin walls here until this latest batch of neighbors. I somehow think PT-associated noise would be better than the dull low-frequency vibrations from their TV.
Trust me....PT noises are NEVER better.


bin laden, killed. abc news, turn it on.
I heard it on my Facebook news feed first. How sad is that.
Me too. Wow.

I gave up on the Kobe argument...haters gonna hate! Kobe is a different species and until LeBrick or anyone else for that matter scores 81 points in a game, or outscores an entire opponent through 3 quarters (Kobe had 62, and Dallas had 61). or wins 5 rings, nothing changes...

Hahahah and if she had to, we both know who Cougs would choose 😉
...wha? Why should there be choosing? You both love me. I sit in the middle. You guys never have to speak. /Argument

Torr if you likke lbj over kobe we probably should stop this.
my sweet sweet chocolate covered almond 😀
I dedicate this post to my pookie wookie, Cliff, and all the memories we've shared here with our 2015 familia.

😳 thanks dear. 😍
I'm torn between "Ew." and "Good." On all of this.
I'll go with "good".
 
Yeah, looks like yesterday was the torr and cliff post padding love fest in the thread. 😉
 
Thanks guys! And yup, we're moved! Court, lemme know when you and your BF wanna come over for burgers or something. My mom said she wants to get us a grill as a housewarming present.
 
Just to be clear, it was the Torr and Maubs post padding party. Love fest may or may not have happened.
 
If anyone cares, my big ultrasound is Thursday night. We're still planning on not finding out. I'm just worried they'll discover some incompatible-with-life abnormality or this, which absolutely terrifies me.

well you should have thought about that before you started adding all that acid in your diet
indeed
 
I had to scroll my browser window to get to this thread. This is unacceptable.

I think I've decided I want to live in a single apartment/loft next year. Then if I meet someone/people cool who I wanna live with, I'll reconsider the next year.

Also, I just got need-based fin aid at one of my schools and I'm pretty shocked.
 
Wow, so much catching up to do! Oh wait, 90% of those are post pads... 🙂

I would have been on here earlier, but I was just almost burning my bf's apartment down, you know, the usual Sunday night routine.






But seriously, last night we were going to make sweet potato fries so we put a pot of oil on the stove to heat up (I wanted to just roast them in the oven but no no no, he HAD to fry them in oil)... we had both been watching the stove for about 20 minutes and the oil still wasn't hot, so we went into the living room for like 2 minutes, until I smelled smoke... we ran into the kitchen, covered the smoking pot, and bf tried to take it outside so the apartment wouldn't get too smoky... and as he's walking he spills a little bit of hot oil on his hand, causing him to scream and drop the smoking pot onto the carpet... which immediately burst into flames. We got the fire out quickly, but not before the apartment filled with smoke, a small section of carpet got completely scorched, and a thin layer of ash settled over the entire place. We spent like 2 hours trying to clean up all the ash and soot. Quite an adventure. At least everyone was ok (minus a small burn on bf's hand), and even the damage wasn't too bad. But still. Not fun.

...and that's why you don't fry food.

Grease fires can be very dangerous...I'm really glad you're all ok.

Huzzah! I got good aid from one school and crap from the other. Rarr.

I'm glad you're ok!!!

And the lesson here is....if you want fried food, go to a restaurant....NOT 'don't eat fried food'....silly😉

It's actually from an episode of "How I Met Your Mother". And also....lame sites like this:

From that website, if someone wants to have a baby girl... they should drink alcohol, coffee, and smoke/consume tobacco? 😱 No wonder why biatches be crazy, if those are the things people do to have daughters :laugh:

I've lived without a roommate for so long that I'm hesitant to get one, even though it would save me some skrilla...and even then, I'd prefer someone I was already friends with. Could be doable...we'll see.

I got a non-zero amount of non-loan financial aid. It wasn't much, but it was kinda cool to see it nonetheless. I don't know to what extent having nontrivial earnings for last year might have been detrimental, but eh.

saving skrilla, and having people to chill with by just walking to the living room is why i'm going with roommates for first year. things could change for second year though.

My gosh! I'm so glad y'all are okay! I'll keep that in mind once I'm on my own, in about two months. I'm pretty bad with my hands when it comes to cooking, so I would probably burn myself too...

Congrats on the aid! Wish I could get my hands on some moo-la, but I think Downstate doens't release scholarship info til summer.

I'm doing the opposite of your housing arrangements; I'm going with a roommate this year (and likely staying with a roommate in subsequent years) to save money and have the comfort of knowing some else is with me. This is coming from someone who has been living at home with his parents for the past 22 years lol. Also, I think it'd be fun to meet someone new and live with them. Personally, my roommate and I are pretty similar (from what I can tell) and we will hopefully click well!

I just got my financial aid package from the school I'm gonna attend, and I learned going to your in-state school is not that cheap 👎. I think it is a myth propagated on SDN. Looks like I'll be close to double the average indebtedness listed in the MSAR.
 
:hello: everyone! The worst part of my senior year is over, so I'm back. WAAAAY too much catching up to do, but I'll try at least a little.

That is terrifying, julie! I'm glad that you are both okay. If I were you I would be scared to fry food for a while (that's probably for the best, though. You'll probably live 10 years longer than me).

is anyone around?

Hey!

Congrats 👍

👎thumbdown Sorry about that one. On the bright side, at least you'll be warm at your school?


Also, I finally committed to one place! Mailed the deposit and withdrew from everywhere else. 🙂 Also I expect Geeks to let me meet Chicklet (+the new -let) when I get there. (Oh, P.S. good luck on the big ultrasound!)

I can't catch up through 3 pages of post padding, but I'll assume it was riveting.

Totes, rHin01. In IL the state school(s) cost more than the privates and if you get in as an OOS you definitely better be prepared to take it like a grown man. Obviously there are state schools that are "cheaper," depending on your state. But it isn't the "take it to the bank" maxim that gets flossed through the @sscrack of SDN like our shiat don't stink.
 
1. Why is this thread so dead?

2. I see that someone among us has their name written in shiny red letters

3. Profit

I agree with your numero un ...my gueess would we're all tired bc it's Monday? I know LS and I kinda called it a night early when we were talking..then again, I was likely boring him. 😛
