I've been reading them out loud to my mom, who's not paying attention, so I've been modifying the Vassar brochure so it sounds like Nazi propaganda... and Ohio State sounds like a Ponzi scheme. She just keeps nodding and smiling.

HAHAHAHA

So I just got like ninety ads from colleges in the mail being like, "WE WANT YOU AT OUR SCHOOL!"

It's a buyer's market. Schools are feeling the recession, too, and the decreased number of students enrolling, so they are aggressively out there competing for the students that want to enroll. Especially the more expensive schools.

The upside, you should be able to attend a school of your choice.

I started cracking up at the part about Jonathan Groff and not to look into his eyes or he'll convince you to see Spring Awakening. Lin is really cute when he's clean-shaven, I kind of don't think the facial hair works for him that well.

It's because they just sent out our PSAT scores, and I stupidly checked the box that sends my results out to colleges. They don't know anything about me except my PSATs. For all they care, I could be a terrorist drug lord sex offender.

A terrorist drug lord would have money to bequeath to a school. So after you get gunned down by your rivals the school thinks it might get an endowment from your will. Good business. :)

Sex offender? Join the party. :)

You should see the pic I took of him with my daughter Sunday at stage door. As he got closer to us I was thinking, ooh he is so cute! And then when you see the picture with his scruffy face it was like...um, he looks WAY better in real life!!

What happens if you aren't able to do it, Maisie?

Schmerg, I suggest you look at Denison University in Granville, OH.

Lovely school....(no bias here, of course)

I am extremely frustrated and in a TERRIBLE mood now. :/

Can't say I blame you.

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

When I do plays at my school, if we can't sell ads, we have to pay for them ourselves. And we gripe about the fifty bucks we need to pay for that. Maisie, I seriously think the world is out to get you. People say teenagers complain too much, but your life is CRAZY.

Krissy, that is a really great point. ^_^

Yeah, I saw some blogs and articles, they do mount lavish productions.

Im thinking I'll study Communications, probably Radio/Film/Television and Journalism.

Shannon, that's so awesome!! I know some pretty cool people in that field...*coughMEcough*

I actually just sent my resume for a job in Texas on the "Michael Baisden show" as a radio show producer. I swear I was pacing around the house like a mad woman, practically singing "I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line (and yes I did break out into dance...pivot, step, walk, walk, again...so sad!!) I haven't heard anything yet, but then again it's only been 4 days. *fingers crossed*

That stinks Maisie!

Totally off topic, but some lady just flipped out at me on the phone! She was asking to speak to someone who doesn't work here so I said "I'm sorry I think you have the wrong number, no one by that name works here". And she goes "Since when?! How long have you been working there because clearly you have no clue what you're talking about!!" I'm shocked I didn't flip out at her haha

I'm sorry Maisie! That's horrible!

Tofu, that sounds awesome! I'll have my fingers crossed for you as well.

That Lin-Manuel Miranda video is one of my favorites, I watch it all the time.

Maisie, can "ordinary" people buy ads?

Posted: 2/10/09 at 4:34pm

Ok, seriously Blondebaby, WTF?! You're obviously a better woman than I...cuz it woulda been sooooo ON!!!

Normally I'm pretty calm and it takes a lot to get me super amped...but that's just plain rude and b*tchy. Although I haven't been in a fight since High School (long story) I'm sure I can handle myself. Nowadays when I get into fights they're mostly verbal. I just use my vocabulary to eviscerate those who give me all sorts of grief or are simply down right mean to me.

Blondebaby, argh! I hate people like that!

In German class, this girl and I were working together, and she asked what a word meant. I tried to explain to to her, but I couldn't translate it so that it made sense in English. Then, the teacher came over and gave the wrong definition. (The teacher's not a native speaker. We have a native speaker in my class, and the teacher keeps asking her if she has her grammar right. Usually, she doesn't.)

It's one of the vocab words that's going to be on our test next period. Now I don't know which definition she gave us was right!

Fingers crossed, tofu! Keep us posted!

Maisie, I'll send you a $20 donation.

Tell me whom to make the check out to and where to send it. (You can email me this information. Don't publish it in a thread.)

That's the problem with studying a foreign language in America, with a teacher who isn't even native to the language, Schmergie. You end up adopting all his/her idiosyncrasies. The best way is to study in the country where the language is nationally spoken. There are so many dialectical variants, too. You teacher may not even be pronouncing things right so you'll have to re-learn everything when you go to that country.

Take it with a grain of salt and try to wade through it just to get a grade.
