Okay, so you people already know how I was deferred by MIT and was one of those lucky people (actually, 1:8, if you like statistics. I don't. I think from Research class last year, I will forever hate statistics but pay ultimate homage to Stat Man) who got put into regular decision.
A pity. Apparently MIT sends their early applicant acceptance students presents over the year. Like they got Valentine's Day cards detailed with lovely diagrams of the molecular diagram of chocolate. or rather, as it is more correct: theobromine.
*insanely jealous*

But I just got letters in the mail saying I got into Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, so hey, life's somewhat good...

Okay, that's a lie. This may be the worst week ever of nerd school. EVER.

And now my friend keeps asking me whether I got into MIT because he wants to brag to his friends. All this because he recently found out that Gordon Freeman did his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from MIT. Check it out.

And for those of you who don't know Stat Man: every year for Halloween, our Precalculus/Vector Calculus teacher Dr. Jones, totally nice mild-mannered guy, transforms into Stat Man (because Dr. J did his doctorate in Statistics) and it's amazing. He dons a mask and cape and everything.

Best quote ever: he points to Dr. Lindeman and is like: "She's a few standard deviations short of the mean."
And we're like "ROFLOL!!"

To the Stat Cave!!!
