|
Date: January 14th, 2006 12:58 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Yes, I regularly take it off to wash dishes and lose it for 2-3 days at a time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4812903) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 12:43 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace btw, I don't remember the details of our discussion on this. Do you attend NU or something? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4812759) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 12:45 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park You posted a what-to-wear thread.
Did you end up applying anywhere outside the top 25? |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 12:47 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace No. I have a T1 safety.
I now have a busines suit that I can wear in case of future interviews and such, thus saving me from future what-to-wear threads. I had to scour the entire freaking city of Chicago to find it. |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 12:52 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park Where'd you get it? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4812852) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 12:53 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace BCBG, which was miraculously having a 50% off sale. We stumbled in as a last ditch effort before giving up. Have you been there? THey have great clothes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4812860) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:06 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park Their clothes don't fit me. They are great for very petite women like you, though.
It would have been fun to go shopping with you. Too bad. |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:12 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Oh, this was more like a project than a shopping trip. Not too fun at all until I finally found BCBG at 3:30 pm on Sunday, truth be told. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4813004) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:17 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park What location of BCBG?
I want to go shopping now. |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:19 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Lincoln Park area. We were looking for a restaurant there, but it was closed. At the time, it seemed like a failed ending to a failed weekend...until I saw that blessed store.
Actually, now that THAT's over I keep wanting to go shopping. |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:19 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park Hehe. I know exactly where. Which restaurant? Where did you end up eating? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4813066) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:22 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace It's called Sweet Basil. The sign said that they were to open around the time that we got there, which seemed rather felicitous, so we waited in the cold for a while until it became clear that it was not, in fact, going to open. Ever been there? It was fantastic when I was there one time.
We ended up at some Mexican restaurant (Fiesta something or other) with really good food and an amusing huge TV system on which they were playing videos of female Latin music stars. |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:23 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park I've never been to eitehr. You should have gone to RJ Grunts. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4813097) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:29 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace What's that? It sounds familiar. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4813140) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:38 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park It's the original Lettuce Entertain you restaurant, among other things. A neighborhood staple for 35 years or so. Really really good. Right near the zoo on Lincoln Park west. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4813231) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:39 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Cool. I will check it out next time. With any luck, I'll be living there soon.
How've you been? |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:40 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park Make sure you get the salad bar, and the French Onion soup is the best in the history of the world. Burgers are good too.
I'm good. Can't sleep. Sort of anxious but I don't know why. You? |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:43 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Yum, salad bar. I am gettin hungry now.
Sorry that you are feeling anxious. I have been very very very anxious, but I knowwhy--I can't wait to hear back on my law school apps because I cannot make my other fun plans without one acceptance in the bag. I am also a little sick with a sore throat. Other than that, things are going pretty well.
I think that I may have sent you an e-mail, btw. |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:44 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park I am hungry now, too. Only seven hours until I eat oatmeal! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4813279) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:49 AM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Yum, oatmeal. I have some chocolate pudding in the fridge. It will not last through the night.
edit: another email |
|
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:53 AM Author: demanding regret trailer park I replied. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4813339) |
Date: January 14th, 2006 1:20 AM Author: Irradiated azn Did some today.
90% of the time they slobbered on about how much they loved the firm, the other 10% of the time they feigned interest in my responses. I received no difficult questions, hypotheticals, etc.
Nod, smile, suck some dick and you will be fine. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 12:59 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Bump. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4831877) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:03 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma When was your interview? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4831903) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:04 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace I haven't yet interviewed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4831921) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:05 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma Meant your NU interview.
Why are you interviewing for a job if you are going to LS?
Now I am thoroughly confused. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:10 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace OK, I am interviewing at a law school. I know for sure that I want to go there, but I am not sure how much detailed info I should know about the school. I mean, I have a general idea of what the school likes to emphasize about itself, I know the names and have a general idea of what the major faculty members are into, and I know about the school's extra programs, clinics, etc.
My fear is that they will want me to know exactly which area of the law I will want to study and with whom. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:12 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma They won't. Just say they have a couple of programs that interest you like X & Y with Professor A & B.
Then say you want to keep an open mind until you start.
Blah, blah, blah. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:14 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Well, that is true--I do know which programs interest me and I do have an open mind.
I don't know why I am worrying about this so much, since I actually do have career goals and a good idea of what I want to study. Mostly I'm just excited, I think. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:15 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma The kind of excitement only a free man feels? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832020) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:18 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace No, the kind of excitement a man trapped in a rut feels. I am ready to move on to something more interesting and this is my first real scent of it since I decided to defer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832049) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:19 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma I was quoting Shawshank Redemption.
What?!?! You decided to defer? Since when? |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:22 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace I applied to what is now my safety last year. My intention was only to go there, but after I took the LSAT, a bunch of schools sent me app fee waivers. After that, I started talking to attorneys that I know and I realized how freaking important prestige is. Once I opened my mind to the idea of moving, I realized that there are other schools that I would rather attend, anyway. As a result, I got a nonbinding deferral. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832075) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:23 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma Gotcha.
Where is your husband? Sleeping or gardening? |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:24 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Working. HE is still sick, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832088) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:26 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma Are you slowly poisoning him so you can start your new life untethered? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832114) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:27 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace No, I need someone to work and pay down some of my loans as I rack them up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832122) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:30 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma I thought that was what the insurance money was going to be for. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832162) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:32 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace Oh, yeah. No, actually, he will probably apply to a program wherever we end up, so we will plunge into great debt together and then, with luck, we will claw our way out together. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832177) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:33 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma I don't know. If you expose him to the women in the DC area for instance, he may be charmed by their non-midwest worldly ways. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832185) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:34 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace He adores me. He has also lived abroad and has been able to meet cosmopolitan women. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832198) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:36 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma "He adores" you?
He is definitely gay. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:38 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace How is it gay to adore a woman? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832241) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:41 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma The term is gay sounding.
I would never say "I adore" someone. I would say I love someone. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:42 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace HE does say that he loves me. "Adore" is what we call a synonym. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832278) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:45 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma Right, a gay one. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832299) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:46 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace It's the synonym that I chose to use, so I guess that I must be gay. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832312) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:47 PM Author: Floppy Institution Friendly Grandma SWeet. Would you like me to arrange soemthing for you?
If you visit UCLA I am fairly certain I can make this happen for you. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:48 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace What does "arrange something" mean. If I visit LA, I would like to leave with a spouse. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4832330) |

|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:06 PM Author: blathering kitchen electric furnace I think that my main problem is that I have not interviewed for very many things in my life, so I might be expecting too much of myself. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=338966&forum_id=2#4831938) |
