Trivial news--pun intended.

So I've been offered full scholarships from two of the best liberal arts schools in the country.

I'll let you know how I feel about this when I figure it out.

BUT. Fordham is out, BC is out (those cheap Jesuit bastards), and UNH was out a month ago. Unless I a) get into Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, Harvard, or Tufts and b) get pretty damn good aid packages for them, I'm going south for the fall.

If I decide to leave the residents and Hartford in peace, I'm gonna scare me some Virginians. Remind me to leave the letter 'r' up here.

On a tangent, my friends keep noticing that I do, in fact, have an accent, and the other day I actually found myself talking about pahkin my cah. Woah. NH hasn't gotten to me so badly after all.

On another tangent, I got to go to a Quiz Bowl tournament today, which was AWESOME. I love geeky trivia stuff. I did really well, suprisingly, since I've been out of practice since the Pound of Feathers Incident, and overall our school took first because we just have cool people who run train on life, that sort of thing. The competition was fantastic. A sampling of my favorite questions: where is Old Ironsides docked (SNIPE for Boston); what is the meaning of the Latin root of these words: capital-- (he stopped there because I buzzed in with the answer "head); which two muscles are attached to the leg by the Achilles tendon ("gastonemius and soleus", which was totally fantastic and got me crazy looks from both teams); and what important federal document was signed by... (insert names of English sounding people here). I pulled the Mayflower Compact entirely out of my ass and got it right.
We call that a win.
