Lucy, what's up with the October boards? I have been lead to believe from almost everyone I've talked to and everything I've read that there will be an October board. Not that it matters too much for me, because I'm pretty sure my waiver process will hold up my package until November. J/w I guess.

 

[Lucy]

Oops! I meant Oct. for Intel. This first week of classes is making me a little foggy. I can't imagine what my French translation looks like...

 

[GoVols1998]

Haha, I know that feeling. I've already had to write a french composition and take a couple french tests so far this semester. Good luck at the Nov boards. A pro-rec would be a delightful early X-mas present.

You also raise your pinky?

Triple major with a minor! Very nice Lucy!

 

[Lucy]

Thanks James. Doing summer terms went a long way

 

[GoVols1998]

haha nice marmoset. I just like to interject not so often used words into some of my sentences. Is it just me, but between AW and usnavyocs, the October and November board threads seem wayyyyyy too quiet for it being this close to board meetings?

 

[Lucy]

GoVols- It was like that for July also.

 

[marmoset54]

Yep. It's also quite a smaller board this time around. With that said, it's only October 3rd. There is plenty of time for folks to worry themselves into a frenzy.
