congratulations adrian, it seems like everyone got waitlisted (except for...um...us ugly girls? to corroborate your anecdotal evidence, an attractive girl in my math class also got waitlisted.)

i don't know if that's where i want to go. i need to find out how much money they want to give me, and i still like ut and st. john's a lot (a lot a lot). the dorms are indeed ugly architecture but they are positively posh on the inside, believe me. also the food is very good. i think one of my favorite things about the school (besides the nice lodging) is their encouragement of double majors and their flexibility between colleges and the such. also: national league baseball! what are your feelings on the place? have you visited? i'm going to visit over spring break i think. (you should get aim so we can discuss this further, and trade recipes for st. louis's famed culinary delicacy - mmm, deep fried ravioli.)

i think that's an interesting definition of literature, and i'm not sure i agree. if that's true, what's the separating line between literature and philosophy? or literature and good journalism? to me, anyway, the appeal of a work of literature lies more in the aesthetic: i like a book that changes my interpretation of my reality, which includes my beliefs...i think this can be done by writing about controversial subjects, but truly skilled writing - a command of the craft - does the same thing for me. i don't know, i think interpreting a work of art in purely political terms is as reductionist and misguided as refusing to look beyond its form.

susan, you beat me to driving! we were supposed to be the bus-riding taspers together...and if you've got time for reading, why in the name of perry-castaneda are you reading the book of merlyn?!??!
